How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 65 ÷ 100 = 0.65
  2. Multiply: 0.65 × 45 = 29.25
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.25 ÷ 45 × 100 = 65%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 65/100 = part/45, so part = 65 × 45 ÷ 100 = 29.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =65%*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

29.25 is the 65% share of 45. The remaining 35% is 15.75, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 65% off an item priced $45 saves $29.25, so you pay $15.75.

Adding and taking away 65%

Increasing 45 by 65% gives 74.25 and decreasing it by 65% gives 15.75. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 65% and then lowering the result by 65% ends at 25.9875, because the second 65% is taken of a bigger number.
