How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
  2. Multiply: 0.95 × 45 = 42.75
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.75 ÷ 45 × 100 = 95%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/45, so part = 95 × 45 ÷ 100 = 42.75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =95%*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

42.75 is the 95% share of 45. The remaining 5% is 2.25, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 95% off an item priced $45 saves $42.75, so you pay $2.25.

Adding and taking away 95%

Increasing 45 by 95% gives 87.75 and decreasing it by 95% gives 2.25. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 4.3875, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
