How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 75 = 53.25
  3. Check: Work backwards: 53.25 ÷ 75 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/75, so part = 71 × 75 ÷ 100 = 53.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*75. 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

53.25 is the 71% share of 75. The remaining 29% is 21.75, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $75 saves $53.25, so you pay $21.75.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 75 by 71% gives 128.25 and decreasing it by 71% gives 21.75. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 37.1925, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
