How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 59 ÷ 100 = 0.59
  2. Multiply: 0.59 × 45 = 26.55
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.55 ÷ 45 × 100 = 59%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/100 = part/45, so part = 59 × 45 ÷ 100 = 26.55. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =59%*45. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

26.55 is the 59% share of 45. The remaining 41% is 18.45, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 59% off an item priced $45 saves $26.55, so you pay $18.45.

Adding and taking away 59%

Increasing 45 by 59% gives 71.55 and decreasing it by 59% gives 18.45. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 59% and then lowering the result by 59% ends at 29.3355, because the second 59% is taken of a bigger number.
