How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
- Multiply: 0.23 × 51 = 11.73
- Check: Work backwards: 11.73 ÷ 51 × 100 = 23%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/51, so part = 23 × 51 ÷ 100 = 11.73. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =23%*51. 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 51 by 23% gives 62.73 and decreasing it by 23% gives 39.27. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 48.3021, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
