How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
  2. Multiply: 0.25 × 75 = 18.75
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.75 ÷ 75 × 100 = 25%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/75, so part = 25 × 75 ÷ 100 = 18.75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =25%*75. 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

18.75 is the 25% share of 75. The remaining 75% is 56.25, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 25% off an item priced $75 saves $18.75, so you pay $56.25.

Adding and taking away 25%

Increasing 75 by 25% gives 93.75 and decreasing it by 25% gives 56.25. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 70.3125, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
