How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
- Multiply: 0.23 × 89 = 20.47
- Check: Work backwards: 20.47 ÷ 89 × 100 = 23%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/89, so part = 23 × 89 ÷ 100 = 20.47. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =23%*89. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
