How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
- Multiply: 0.23 × 28 = 6.44
- Check: Work backwards: 6.44 ÷ 28 × 100 = 23%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/28, so part = 23 × 28 ÷ 100 = 6.44. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =23%*28. 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 23%
Increasing 28 by 23% gives 34.44 and decreasing it by 23% gives 21.56. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 26.5188, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
