How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
  2. Multiply: 0.33 × 23 = 7.59
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.59 ÷ 23 × 100 = 33%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/100 = part/23, so part = 33 × 23 ÷ 100 = 7.59. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33%*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

7.59 is the 33% share of 23. The remaining 67% is 15.41, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Discounts: 33% off an item priced $23 saves $7.59, so you pay $15.41.

Adding and taking away 33%

Increasing 23 by 33% gives 30.59 and decreasing it by 33% gives 15.41. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 20.4953, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
