How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57
  2. Multiply: 0.57 × 74 = 42.18
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.18 ÷ 74 × 100 = 57%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/100 = part/74, so part = 57 × 74 ÷ 100 = 42.18. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57%*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.

What the result means

42.18 is the 57% share of 74. The remaining 43% is 31.82, and the two parts add back up to 74.

Discounts: 57% off an item priced $74 saves $42.18, so you pay $31.82.

Adding and taking away 57%

Increasing 74 by 57% gives 116.18 and decreasing it by 57% gives 31.82. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 57% and then lowering the result by 57% ends at 49.9574, because the second 57% is taken of a bigger number.
