How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
- Multiply: 0.16 × 23 = 3.68
- Check: Work backwards: 3.68 ÷ 23 × 100 = 16%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/23, so part = 16 × 23 ÷ 100 = 3.68. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =16%*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
3.68 is the 16% share of 23. The remaining 84% is 19.32, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Adding and taking away 16%
Increasing 23 by 16% gives 26.68 and decreasing it by 16% gives 19.32. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 22.4112, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
