How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
- Multiply: 0.97 × 23 = 22.31
- Check: Work backwards: 22.31 ÷ 23 × 100 = 97%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/23, so part = 97 × 23 ÷ 100 = 22.31. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =97%*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
22.31 is the 97% share of 23. The remaining 3% is 0.69, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Adding and taking away 97%
Increasing 23 by 97% gives 45.31 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.69. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 1.3593, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
