How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 85 ÷ 100 = 0.85
- Multiply: 0.85 × 45 = 38.25
- Check: Work backwards: 38.25 ÷ 45 × 100 = 85%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 85/100 = part/45, so part = 85 × 45 ÷ 100 = 38.25. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =85%*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.
