How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
- Multiply: 0.25 × 23 = 5.75
- Check: Work backwards: 5.75 ÷ 23 × 100 = 25%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/23, so part = 25 × 23 ÷ 100 = 5.75. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =25%*23. 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
5.75 is the 25% share of 23. The remaining 75% is 17.25, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Adding and taking away 25%
Increasing 23 by 25% gives 28.75 and decreasing it by 25% gives 17.25. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 21.5625, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
