How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 23 = 18.86
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.86 ÷ 23 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/23, so part = 82 × 23 ÷ 100 = 18.86. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*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

18.86 is the 82% share of 23. The remaining 18% is 4.14, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $23 saves $18.86, so you pay $4.14.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 23 by 82% gives 41.86 and decreasing it by 82% gives 4.14. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 7.5348, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
