How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 72 ÷ 100 = 0.72
- Multiply: 0.72 × 91 = 65.52
- Check: Work backwards: 65.52 ÷ 91 × 100 = 72%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 72/100 = part/91, so part = 72 × 91 ÷ 100 = 65.52. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =72%*91. 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

Adding and taking away 72%
Increasing 91 by 72% gives 156.52 and decreasing it by 72% gives 25.48. These do not cancel out: raising 91 by 72% and then lowering the result by 72% ends at 43.8256, because the second 72% is taken of a bigger number.
