How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 73 = 8.03
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.03 ÷ 73 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/73, so part = 11 × 73 ÷ 100 = 8.03. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*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

8.03 is the 11% share of 73. The remaining 89% is 64.97, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $73 saves $8.03, so you pay $64.97.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 73 by 11% gives 81.03 and decreasing it by 11% gives 64.97. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 72.1167, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
