How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 22 = 3.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.52 ÷ 22 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/22, so part = 16 × 22 ÷ 100 = 3.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*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

3.52 is the 16% share of 22. The remaining 84% is 18.48, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $22 saves $3.52, so you pay $18.48.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 22 by 16% gives 25.52 and decreasing it by 16% gives 18.48. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 21.4368, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
