How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
- Multiply: 0.08 × 23 = 1.84
- Check: Work backwards: 1.84 ÷ 23 × 100 = 8%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/23, so part = 8 × 23 ÷ 100 = 1.84. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =8%*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
1.84 is the 8% share of 23. The remaining 92% is 21.16, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Adding and taking away 8%
Increasing 23 by 8% gives 24.84 and decreasing it by 8% gives 21.16. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 22.8528, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
