How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 77 ÷ 100 = 0.77
  2. Multiply: 0.77 × 46 = 35.42
  3. Check: Work backwards: 35.42 ÷ 46 × 100 = 77%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/100 = part/46, so part = 77 × 46 ÷ 100 = 35.42. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77%*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

35.42 is the 77% share of 46. The remaining 23% is 10.58, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 77% off an item priced $46 saves $35.42, so you pay $10.58.

Adding and taking away 77%

Increasing 46 by 77% gives 81.42 and decreasing it by 77% gives 10.58. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 77% and then lowering the result by 77% ends at 18.7266, because the second 77% is taken of a bigger number.
