How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 15 ÷ 100 = 0.15
  2. Multiply: 0.15 × 22 = 3.3
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.3 ÷ 22 × 100 = 15%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/100 = part/22, so part = 15 × 22 ÷ 100 = 3.3. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15%*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

3.3 is the 15% share of 22. The remaining 85% is 18.7, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 15% off an item priced $22 saves $3.3, so you pay $18.7.

Adding and taking away 15%

Increasing 22 by 15% gives 25.3 and decreasing it by 15% gives 18.7. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 15% and then lowering the result by 15% ends at 21.505, because the second 15% is taken of a bigger number.
