How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3
- Multiply: 0.3 × 74 = 22.2
- Check: Work backwards: 22.2 ÷ 74 × 100 = 30%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 30/100 = part/74, so part = 30 × 74 ÷ 100 = 22.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =30%*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
22.2 is the 30% share of 74. The remaining 70% is 51.8, and the two parts add back up to 74.
Discounts: 30% off an item priced $74 saves $22.2, so you pay $51.8.
Adding and taking away 30%
Increasing 74 by 30% gives 96.2 and decreasing it by 30% gives 51.8. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 30% and then lowering the result by 30% ends at 67.34, because the second 30% is taken of a bigger number.
