How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 73 = 35.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 35.04 ÷ 73 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/73, so part = 48 × 73 ÷ 100 = 35.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*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

35.04 is the 48% share of 73. The remaining 52% is 37.96, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $73 saves $35.04, so you pay $37.96.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 73 by 48% gives 108.04 and decreasing it by 48% gives 37.96. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 56.1808, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
