How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 89 ÷ 100 = 0.89
  2. Multiply: 0.89 × 23 = 20.47
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.47 ÷ 23 × 100 = 89%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 89/100 = part/23, so part = 89 × 23 ÷ 100 = 20.47. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =89%*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

20.47 is the 89% share of 23. The remaining 11% is 2.53, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Discounts: 89% off an item priced $23 saves $20.47, so you pay $2.53.

Adding and taking away 89%

Increasing 23 by 89% gives 43.47 and decreasing it by 89% gives 2.53. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 89% and then lowering the result by 89% ends at 4.7817, because the second 89% is taken of a bigger number.
