How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
  2. Multiply: 0.33 × 73 = 24.09
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.09 ÷ 73 × 100 = 33%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/100 = part/73, so part = 33 × 73 ÷ 100 = 24.09. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33%*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

24.09 is the 33% share of 73. The remaining 67% is 48.91, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 33% off an item priced $73 saves $24.09, so you pay $48.91.

Adding and taking away 33%

Increasing 73 by 33% gives 97.09 and decreasing it by 33% gives 48.91. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 65.0503, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
