How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 73 = 45.26
  3. Check: Work backwards: 45.26 ÷ 73 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/73, so part = 62 × 73 ÷ 100 = 45.26. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*73. 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

45.26 is the 62% share of 73. The remaining 38% is 27.74, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $73 saves $45.26, so you pay $27.74.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 73 by 62% gives 118.26 and decreasing it by 62% gives 27.74. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 44.9388, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
