How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 22 = 5.94
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.94 ÷ 22 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/22, so part = 27 × 22 ÷ 100 = 5.94. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*22. 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

5.94 is the 27% share of 22. The remaining 73% is 16.06, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $22 saves $5.94, so you pay $16.06.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 22 by 27% gives 27.94 and decreasing it by 27% gives 16.06. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 20.3962, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
