How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
  2. Multiply: 0.22 × 27 = 5.94
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.94 ÷ 27 × 100 = 22%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/27, so part = 22 × 27 ÷ 100 = 5.94. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22%*27. 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

5.94 is the 22% share of 27. The remaining 78% is 21.06, and the two parts add back up to 27.

Discounts: 22% off an item priced $27 saves $5.94, so you pay $21.06.

Adding and taking away 22%

Increasing 27 by 22% gives 32.94 and decreasing it by 22% gives 21.06. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 25.6932, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
