How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
  2. Multiply: 0.22 × 33 = 7.26
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.26 ÷ 33 × 100 = 22%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/33, so part = 22 × 33 ÷ 100 = 7.26. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22%*33. 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

7.26 is the 22% share of 33. The remaining 78% is 25.74, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 22% off an item priced $33 saves $7.26, so you pay $25.74.

Adding and taking away 22%

Increasing 33 by 22% gives 40.26 and decreasing it by 22% gives 25.74. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 31.4028, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
