How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
  2. Multiply: 0.23 × 77 = 17.71
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.71 ÷ 77 × 100 = 23%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/77, so part = 23 × 77 ÷ 100 = 17.71. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23%*77. 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

17.71 is the 23% share of 77. The remaining 77% is 59.29, and the two parts add back up to 77.

Discounts: 23% off an item priced $77 saves $17.71, so you pay $59.29.

Adding and taking away 23%

Increasing 77 by 23% gives 94.71 and decreasing it by 23% gives 59.29. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 72.9267, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
