How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 87 ÷ 100 = 0.87
- Multiply: 0.87 × 45 = 39.15
- Check: Work backwards: 39.15 ÷ 45 × 100 = 87%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/100 = part/45, so part = 87 × 45 ÷ 100 = 39.15. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =87%*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
39.15 is the 87% share of 45. The remaining 13% is 5.85, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Adding and taking away 87%
Increasing 45 by 87% gives 84.15 and decreasing it by 87% gives 5.85. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 87% and then lowering the result by 87% ends at 10.9395, because the second 87% is taken of a bigger number.
