How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
  2. Multiply: 0.1 × 750 = 75
  3. Check: Work backwards: 75 ÷ 750 × 100 = 10%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/100 = part/750, so part = 10 × 750 ÷ 100 = 75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10%*750. 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

75 is the 10% share of 750. The remaining 90% is 675, and the two parts add back up to 750.

Discounts: 10% off an item priced $750 saves $75, so you pay $675.

Adding and taking away 10%

Increasing 750 by 10% gives 825 and decreasing it by 10% gives 675. These do not cancel out: raising 750 by 10% and then lowering the result by 10% ends at 742.5, because the second 10% is taken of a bigger number.
