How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 74 = 46.62
  3. Check: Work backwards: 46.62 ÷ 74 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/74, so part = 63 × 74 ÷ 100 = 46.62. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*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

46.62 is the 63% share of 74. The remaining 37% is 27.38, and the two parts add back up to 74.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $74 saves $46.62, so you pay $27.38.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 74 by 63% gives 120.62 and decreasing it by 63% gives 27.38. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 44.6294, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
