How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
- Multiply: 0.23 × 79 = 18.17
- Check: Work backwards: 18.17 ÷ 79 × 100 = 23%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/79, so part = 23 × 79 ÷ 100 = 18.17. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =23%*79. 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 79 by 23% gives 97.17 and decreasing it by 23% gives 60.83. These do not cancel out: raising 79 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 74.8209, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
