How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 72 ÷ 100 = 0.72
  2. Multiply: 0.72 × 63 = 45.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 45.36 ÷ 63 × 100 = 72%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 72/100 = part/63, so part = 72 × 63 ÷ 100 = 45.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =72%*63. 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

45.36 is the 72% share of 63. The remaining 28% is 17.64, and the two parts add back up to 63.

Discounts: 72% off an item priced $63 saves $45.36, so you pay $17.64.

Adding and taking away 72%

Increasing 63 by 72% gives 108.36 and decreasing it by 72% gives 17.64. These do not cancel out: raising 63 by 72% and then lowering the result by 72% ends at 30.3408, because the second 72% is taken of a bigger number.
