How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
- Multiply: 0.13 × 23 = 2.99
- Check: Work backwards: 2.99 ÷ 23 × 100 = 13%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/23, so part = 13 × 23 ÷ 100 = 2.99. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =13%*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
2.99 is the 13% share of 23. The remaining 87% is 20.01, and the two parts add back up to 23.
Discounts: 13% off an item priced $23 saves $2.99, so you pay $20.01.
Adding and taking away 13%
Increasing 23 by 13% gives 25.99 and decreasing it by 13% gives 20.01. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 22.6113, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
