How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
  2. Multiply: 0.23 × 80 = 18.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.4 ÷ 80 × 100 = 23%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/80, so part = 23 × 80 ÷ 100 = 18.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23%*80. 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

18.4 is the 23% share of 80. The remaining 77% is 61.6, and the two parts add back up to 80.

Discounts: 23% off an item priced $80 saves $18.4, so you pay $61.6.

Adding and taking away 23%

Increasing 80 by 23% gives 98.4 and decreasing it by 23% gives 61.6. These do not cancel out: raising 80 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 75.768, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
