How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
- Multiply: 0.23 × 27 = 6.21
- Check: Work backwards: 6.21 ÷ 27 × 100 = 23%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/27, so part = 23 × 27 ÷ 100 = 6.21. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =23%*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
6.21 is the 23% share of 27. The remaining 77% is 20.79, and the two parts add back up to 27.

Adding and taking away 23%
Increasing 27 by 23% gives 33.21 and decreasing it by 23% gives 20.79. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 25.5717, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
