How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 55 ÷ 100 = 0.55
  2. Multiply: 0.55 × 75 = 41.25
  3. Check: Work backwards: 41.25 ÷ 75 × 100 = 55%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/100 = part/75, so part = 55 × 75 ÷ 100 = 41.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55%*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

41.25 is the 55% share of 75. The remaining 45% is 33.75, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 55% off an item priced $75 saves $41.25, so you pay $33.75.

Adding and taking away 55%

Increasing 75 by 55% gives 116.25 and decreasing it by 55% gives 33.75. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 55% and then lowering the result by 55% ends at 52.3125, because the second 55% is taken of a bigger number.
