How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 60 ÷ 100 = 0.6
- Multiply: 0.6 × 46 = 27.6
- Check: Work backwards: 27.6 ÷ 46 × 100 = 60%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 60/100 = part/46, so part = 60 × 46 ÷ 100 = 27.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =60%*46. 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
27.6 is the 60% share of 46. The remaining 40% is 18.4, and the two parts add back up to 46.
Discounts: 60% off an item priced $46 saves $27.6, so you pay $18.4.
Adding and taking away 60%
Increasing 46 by 60% gives 73.6 and decreasing it by 60% gives 18.4. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 60% and then lowering the result by 60% ends at 29.44, because the second 60% is taken of a bigger number.
