How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
  2. Divide the part by it: 45 ÷ 0.1 = 450
  3. Check: Work forwards: 10% of 450 is 0.1 × 450 = 45.

Another method. As a proportion: 45/whole = 10/100, so whole = 45 × 100 ÷ 10 = 450. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =45/10%. Multiplying the part by the percentage instead of dividing gives a smaller number. The whole must be bigger than the part whenever the percentage is below 100.

What the result means

45 is the 10% share of 450. The other 90% is 405.

Discounts: if 45 dollars is a 10% saving, the original price was $450.

Using 1% as a stepping stone

If 10% is 45, then 1% is 45 ÷ 10 = 4.5, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 45, 50% is 225 and 100% is 450.
