How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 73 = 5.11
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.11 ÷ 73 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/73, so part = 7 × 73 ÷ 100 = 5.11. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*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

5.11 is the 7% share of 73. The remaining 93% is 67.89, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $73 saves $5.11, so you pay $67.89.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 73 by 7% gives 78.11 and decreasing it by 7% gives 67.89. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 72.6423, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
