How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 40 ÷ 100 = 0.4
  2. Multiply: 0.4 × 22 = 8.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.8 ÷ 22 × 100 = 40%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/100 = part/22, so part = 40 × 22 ÷ 100 = 8.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40%*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

8.8 is the 40% share of 22. The remaining 60% is 13.2, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 40% off an item priced $22 saves $8.8, so you pay $13.2.

Adding and taking away 40%

Increasing 22 by 40% gives 30.8 and decreasing it by 40% gives 13.2. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 40% and then lowering the result by 40% ends at 18.48, because the second 40% is taken of a bigger number.
