How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 67 ÷ 100 = 0.67
  2. Multiply: 0.67 × 72 = 48.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 48.24 ÷ 72 × 100 = 67%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 67/100 = part/72, so part = 67 × 72 ÷ 100 = 48.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =67%*72. 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

48.24 is the 67% share of 72. The remaining 33% is 23.76, and the two parts add back up to 72.

Discounts: 67% off an item priced $72 saves $48.24, so you pay $23.76.

Adding and taking away 67%

Increasing 72 by 67% gives 120.24 and decreasing it by 67% gives 23.76. These do not cancel out: raising 72 by 67% and then lowering the result by 67% ends at 39.6792, because the second 67% is taken of a bigger number.
