How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
- Multiply: 0.07 × 74 = 5.18
- Check: Work backwards: 5.18 ÷ 74 × 100 = 7%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/74, so part = 7 × 74 ÷ 100 = 5.18. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =7%*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.

Adding and taking away 7%
Increasing 74 by 7% gives 79.18 and decreasing it by 7% gives 68.82. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 73.6374, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
