How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 45 = 43.65
  3. Check: Work backwards: 43.65 ÷ 45 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/45, so part = 97 × 45 ÷ 100 = 43.65. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

43.65 is the 97% share of 45. The remaining 3% is 1.35, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $45 saves $43.65, so you pay $1.35.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 45 by 97% gives 88.65 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.35. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 2.6595, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
