How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57
  2. Multiply: 0.57 × 75 = 42.75
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.75 ÷ 75 × 100 = 57%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/100 = part/75, so part = 57 × 75 ÷ 100 = 42.75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57%*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

42.75 is the 57% share of 75. The remaining 43% is 32.25, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 57% off an item priced $75 saves $42.75, so you pay $32.25.

Adding and taking away 57%

Increasing 75 by 57% gives 117.75 and decreasing it by 57% gives 32.25. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 57% and then lowering the result by 57% ends at 50.6325, because the second 57% is taken of a bigger number.
