How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 46 = 28.98
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.98 ÷ 46 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/46, so part = 63 × 46 ÷ 100 = 28.98. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*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

28.98 is the 63% share of 46. The remaining 37% is 17.02, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $46 saves $28.98, so you pay $17.02.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 46 by 63% gives 74.98 and decreasing it by 63% gives 17.02. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 27.7426, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
