How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
- Multiply: 0.27 × 23 = 6.21
- Check: Work backwards: 6.21 ÷ 23 × 100 = 27%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/23, so part = 27 × 23 ÷ 100 = 6.21. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =27%*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
6.21 is the 27% share of 23. The remaining 73% is 16.79, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Adding and taking away 27%
Increasing 23 by 27% gives 29.21 and decreasing it by 27% gives 16.79. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 21.3233, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
