How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 3 ÷ 100 = 0.03
  2. Multiply: 0.03 × 22 = 0.66
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.66 ÷ 22 × 100 = 3%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/100 = part/22, so part = 3 × 22 ÷ 100 = 0.66. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =3%*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

0.66 is the 3% share of 22. The remaining 97% is 21.34, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 3% off an item priced $22 saves $0.66, so you pay $21.34.

Adding and taking away 3%

Increasing 22 by 3% gives 22.66 and decreasing it by 3% gives 21.34. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 3% and then lowering the result by 3% ends at 21.9802, because the second 3% is taken of a bigger number.
