How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
- Multiply: 0.09 × 23 = 2.07
- Check: Work backwards: 2.07 ÷ 23 × 100 = 9%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/23, so part = 9 × 23 ÷ 100 = 2.07. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =9%*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
2.07 is the 9% share of 23. The remaining 91% is 20.93, and the two parts add back up to 23.
Discounts: 9% off an item priced $23 saves $2.07, so you pay $20.93.
Adding and taking away 9%
Increasing 23 by 9% gives 25.07 and decreasing it by 9% gives 20.93. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 22.8137, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
