How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
  2. Multiply: 0.01 × 73 = 0.73
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.73 ÷ 73 × 100 = 1%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/100 = part/73, so part = 1 × 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1%*73. 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

0.73 is the 1% share of 73. The remaining 99% is 72.27, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 1% off an item priced $73 saves $0.73, so you pay $72.27.

Adding and taking away 1%

Increasing 73 by 1% gives 73.73 and decreasing it by 1% gives 72.27. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 1% and then lowering the result by 1% ends at 72.9927, because the second 1% is taken of a bigger number.
