How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
  2. Multiply: 0.06 × 22 = 1.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.32 ÷ 22 × 100 = 6%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/22, so part = 6 × 22 ÷ 100 = 1.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6%*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

1.32 is the 6% share of 22. The remaining 94% is 20.68, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 6% off an item priced $22 saves $1.32, so you pay $20.68.

Adding and taking away 6%

Increasing 22 by 6% gives 23.32 and decreasing it by 6% gives 20.68. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 21.9208, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
