How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
  2. Multiply: 0.75 × 22 = 16.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.5 ÷ 22 × 100 = 75%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/100 = part/22, so part = 75 × 22 ÷ 100 = 16.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75%*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

16.5 is the 75% share of 22. The remaining 25% is 5.5, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 75% off an item priced $22 saves $16.5, so you pay $5.5.

Adding and taking away 75%

Increasing 22 by 75% gives 38.5 and decreasing it by 75% gives 5.5. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 75% and then lowering the result by 75% ends at 9.625, because the second 75% is taken of a bigger number.
