How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
- Multiply: 0.51 × 23 = 11.73
- Check: Work backwards: 11.73 ÷ 23 × 100 = 51%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/23, so part = 51 × 23 ÷ 100 = 11.73. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =51%*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

Adding and taking away 51%
Increasing 23 by 51% gives 34.73 and decreasing it by 51% gives 11.27. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 17.0177, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
