How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 23 = 14.26
- Check: Work backwards: 14.26 ÷ 23 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/23, so part = 62 × 23 ÷ 100 = 14.26. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*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
14.26 is the 62% share of 23. The remaining 38% is 8.74, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Adding and taking away 62%
Increasing 23 by 62% gives 37.26 and decreasing it by 62% gives 8.74. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 14.1588, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
