How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
  2. Multiply: 0.23 × 96 = 22.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.08 ÷ 96 × 100 = 23%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/96, so part = 23 × 96 ÷ 100 = 22.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23%*96. 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

22.08 is the 23% share of 96. The remaining 77% is 73.92, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 23% off an item priced $96 saves $22.08, so you pay $73.92.

Adding and taking away 23%

Increasing 96 by 23% gives 118.08 and decreasing it by 23% gives 73.92. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 90.9216, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
