How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
  2. Multiply: 0.47 × 73 = 34.31
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.31 ÷ 73 × 100 = 47%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/73, so part = 47 × 73 ÷ 100 = 34.31. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47%*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

34.31 is the 47% share of 73. The remaining 53% is 38.69, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 47% off an item priced $73 saves $34.31, so you pay $38.69.

Adding and taking away 47%

Increasing 73 by 47% gives 107.31 and decreasing it by 47% gives 38.69. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 56.8743, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
