How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 500 ÷ 100 = 5
  2. Multiply: 5 × 75 = 375
  3. Check: Work backwards: 375 ÷ 75 × 100 = 500%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 500/100 = part/75, so part = 500 × 75 ÷ 100 = 375. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =500%*75. 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

Because 500% is more than 100%, the answer is bigger than 75: it is 5 times 75.

Mark-ups: pricing an item at 500% of its $75 cost means selling it for $375.

Adding and taking away 500%

Increasing 75 by 500% gives 450. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 500% and then lowering the result by 500% ends at -1,800, because the second 500% is taken of a bigger number.
