How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 45 = 27.9
- Check: Work backwards: 27.9 ÷ 45 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/45, so part = 62 × 45 ÷ 100 = 27.9. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*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
27.9 is the 62% share of 45. The remaining 38% is 17.1, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Adding and taking away 62%
Increasing 45 by 62% gives 72.9 and decreasing it by 62% gives 17.1. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 27.702, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
