How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 74 = 26.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.64 ÷ 74 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/74, so part = 36 × 74 ÷ 100 = 26.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*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

26.64 is the 36% share of 74. The remaining 64% is 47.36, and the two parts add back up to 74.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $74 saves $26.64, so you pay $47.36.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 74 by 36% gives 100.64 and decreasing it by 36% gives 47.36. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 64.4096, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
