How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 73 = 9.49
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.49 ÷ 73 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/73, so part = 13 × 73 ÷ 100 = 9.49. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*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

9.49 is the 13% share of 73. The remaining 87% is 63.51, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $73 saves $9.49, so you pay $63.51.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 73 by 13% gives 82.49 and decreasing it by 13% gives 63.51. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 71.7663, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
