How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
- Multiply: 0.22 × 100 = 22
- Check: Work backwards: 22 ÷ 100 × 100 = 22%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/100, so part = 22 × 100 ÷ 100 = 22. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =22%*100. 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
22 is the 22% share of 100. The remaining 78% is 78, and the two parts add back up to 100.
Discounts: 22% off an item priced $100 saves $22, so you pay $78.
Adding and taking away 22%
Increasing 100 by 22% gives 122 and decreasing it by 22% gives 78. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 95.16, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
