How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
  2. Multiply: 0.7 × 45 = 31.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.5 ÷ 45 × 100 = 70%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/100 = part/45, so part = 70 × 45 ÷ 100 = 31.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70%*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

31.5 is the 70% share of 45. The remaining 30% is 13.5, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 70% off an item priced $45 saves $31.5, so you pay $13.5.

Adding and taking away 70%

Increasing 45 by 70% gives 76.5 and decreasing it by 70% gives 13.5. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 22.95, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
