How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
  2. Multiply: 0.75 × 23 = 17.25
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.25 ÷ 23 × 100 = 75%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/100 = part/23, so part = 75 × 23 ÷ 100 = 17.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75%*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

17.25 is the 75% share of 23. The remaining 25% is 5.75, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Discounts: 75% off an item priced $23 saves $17.25, so you pay $5.75.

Adding and taking away 75%

Increasing 23 by 75% gives 40.25 and decreasing it by 75% gives 5.75. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 75% and then lowering the result by 75% ends at 10.0625, because the second 75% is taken of a bigger number.
