How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 12 ÷ 100 = 0.12
- Multiply: 0.12 × 74 = 8.88
- Check: Work backwards: 8.88 ÷ 74 × 100 = 12%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/100 = part/74, so part = 12 × 74 ÷ 100 = 8.88. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =12%*74. 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
8.88 is the 12% share of 74. The remaining 88% is 65.12, and the two parts add back up to 74.

Adding and taking away 12%
Increasing 74 by 12% gives 82.88 and decreasing it by 12% gives 65.12. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 12% and then lowering the result by 12% ends at 72.9344, because the second 12% is taken of a bigger number.
