How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
  2. Multiply: 0.84 × 46 = 38.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 38.64 ÷ 46 × 100 = 84%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/46, so part = 84 × 46 ÷ 100 = 38.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84%*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

38.64 is the 84% share of 46. The remaining 16% is 7.36, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 84% off an item priced $46 saves $38.64, so you pay $7.36.

Adding and taking away 84%

Increasing 46 by 84% gives 84.64 and decreasing it by 84% gives 7.36. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 13.5424, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
