How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 54 ÷ 100 = 0.54
- Multiply: 0.54 × 74 = 39.96
- Check: Work backwards: 39.96 ÷ 74 × 100 = 54%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/100 = part/74, so part = 54 × 74 ÷ 100 = 39.96. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =54%*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.
