How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 23 = 2.53
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.53 ÷ 23 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/23, so part = 11 × 23 ÷ 100 = 2.53. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*23. 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

2.53 is the 11% share of 23. The remaining 89% is 20.47, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $23 saves $2.53, so you pay $20.47.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 23 by 11% gives 25.53 and decreasing it by 11% gives 20.47. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 22.7217, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
