How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 23 = 8.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.28 ÷ 23 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/23, so part = 36 × 23 ÷ 100 = 8.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*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

8.28 is the 36% share of 23. The remaining 64% is 14.72, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $23 saves $8.28, so you pay $14.72.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 23 by 36% gives 31.28 and decreasing it by 36% gives 14.72. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 20.0192, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
