How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 78 ÷ 100 = 0.78
- Multiply: 0.78 × 23 = 17.94
- Check: Work backwards: 17.94 ÷ 23 × 100 = 78%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/100 = part/23, so part = 78 × 23 ÷ 100 = 17.94. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =78%*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 78%
Increasing 23 by 78% gives 40.94 and decreasing it by 78% gives 5.06. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 78% and then lowering the result by 78% ends at 9.0068, because the second 78% is taken of a bigger number.
