How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
- Multiply: 0.22 × 23 = 5.06
- Check: Work backwards: 5.06 ÷ 23 × 100 = 22%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/23, so part = 22 × 23 ÷ 100 = 5.06. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =22%*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

Adding and taking away 22%
Increasing 23 by 22% gives 28.06 and decreasing it by 22% gives 17.94. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 21.8868, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
