How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 22 = 1.54
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.54 ÷ 22 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/22, so part = 7 × 22 ÷ 100 = 1.54. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*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

1.54 is the 7% share of 22. The remaining 93% is 20.46, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $22 saves $1.54, so you pay $20.46.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 22 by 7% gives 23.54 and decreasing it by 7% gives 20.46. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 21.8922, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
