How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 54 ÷ 100 = 0.54
- Multiply: 0.54 × 23 = 12.42
- Check: Work backwards: 12.42 ÷ 23 × 100 = 54%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/100 = part/23, so part = 54 × 23 ÷ 100 = 12.42. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =54%*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 54%
Increasing 23 by 54% gives 35.42 and decreasing it by 54% gives 10.58. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 54% and then lowering the result by 54% ends at 16.2932, because the second 54% is taken of a bigger number.
