How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
  2. Multiply: 0.01 × 22 = 0.22
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.22 ÷ 22 × 100 = 1%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/100 = part/22, so part = 1 × 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1%*22. 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

0.22 is the 1% share of 22. The remaining 99% is 21.78, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 1% off an item priced $22 saves $0.22, so you pay $21.78.

Adding and taking away 1%

Increasing 22 by 1% gives 22.22 and decreasing it by 1% gives 21.78. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 1% and then lowering the result by 1% ends at 21.9978, because the second 1% is taken of a bigger number.
