How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 46 = 45.54
  3. Check: Work backwards: 45.54 ÷ 46 × 100 = 99%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/46, so part = 99 × 46 ÷ 100 = 45.54. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*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

45.54 is the 99% share of 46. The remaining 1% is 0.46, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 99% off an item priced $46 saves $45.54, so you pay $0.46.

Adding and taking away 99%

Increasing 46 by 99% gives 91.54 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.46. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.9154, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
