How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
  2. Multiply: 0.9 × 22 = 19.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 19.8 ÷ 22 × 100 = 90%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/22, so part = 90 × 22 ÷ 100 = 19.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =90%*22. 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

19.8 is the 90% share of 22. The remaining 10% is 2.2, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 90% off an item priced $22 saves $19.8, so you pay $2.2.

Adding and taking away 90%

Increasing 22 by 90% gives 41.8 and decreasing it by 90% gives 2.2. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 4.18, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
