How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
- Multiply: 0.22 × 68 = 14.96
- Check: Work backwards: 14.96 ÷ 68 × 100 = 22%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/68, so part = 22 × 68 ÷ 100 = 14.96. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =22%*68. 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 68 by 22% gives 82.96 and decreasing it by 22% gives 53.04. These do not cancel out: raising 68 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 64.7088, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
