How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
- Multiply: 0.73 × 23 = 16.79
- Check: Work backwards: 16.79 ÷ 23 × 100 = 73%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/23, so part = 73 × 23 ÷ 100 = 16.79. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =73%*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 73%
Increasing 23 by 73% gives 39.79 and decreasing it by 73% gives 6.21. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 10.7433, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
