How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
- Multiply: 0.23 × 74 = 17.02
- Check: Work backwards: 17.02 ÷ 74 × 100 = 23%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/74, so part = 23 × 74 ÷ 100 = 17.02. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =23%*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

Adding and taking away 23%
Increasing 74 by 23% gives 91.02 and decreasing it by 23% gives 56.98. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 70.0854, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
