How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
- Multiply: 0.58 × 74 = 42.92
- Check: Work backwards: 42.92 ÷ 74 × 100 = 58%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/74, so part = 58 × 74 ÷ 100 = 42.92. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =58%*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

Adding and taking away 58%
Increasing 74 by 58% gives 116.92 and decreasing it by 58% gives 31.08. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 49.1064, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
