How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
- Multiply: 0.07 × 46 = 3.22
- Check: Work backwards: 3.22 ÷ 46 × 100 = 7%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/46, so part = 7 × 46 ÷ 100 = 3.22. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =7%*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
3.22 is the 7% share of 46. The remaining 93% is 42.78, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Adding and taking away 7%
Increasing 46 by 7% gives 49.22 and decreasing it by 7% gives 42.78. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 45.7746, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
