How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
  2. Multiply: 0.23 × 90 = 20.7
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.7 ÷ 90 × 100 = 23%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/90, so part = 23 × 90 ÷ 100 = 20.7. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23%*90. 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

20.7 is the 23% share of 90. The remaining 77% is 69.3, and the two parts add back up to 90.

Discounts: 23% off an item priced $90 saves $20.7, so you pay $69.3.

Adding and taking away 23%

Increasing 90 by 23% gives 110.7 and decreasing it by 23% gives 69.3. These do not cancel out: raising 90 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 85.239, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
