How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
- Multiply: 0.28 × 74 = 20.72
- Check: Work backwards: 20.72 ÷ 74 × 100 = 28%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/74, so part = 28 × 74 ÷ 100 = 20.72. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =28%*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 28%
Increasing 74 by 28% gives 94.72 and decreasing it by 28% gives 53.28. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 68.1984, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
