How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
  2. Multiply: 0.23 × 33 = 7.59
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.59 ÷ 33 × 100 = 23%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/33, so part = 23 × 33 ÷ 100 = 7.59. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23%*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

7.59 is the 23% share of 33. The remaining 77% is 25.41, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 23% off an item priced $33 saves $7.59, so you pay $25.41.

Adding and taking away 23%

Increasing 33 by 23% gives 40.59 and decreasing it by 23% gives 25.41. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 31.2543, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
