How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 10 = 7.3
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.3 ÷ 10 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/10, so part = 73 × 10 ÷ 100 = 7.3. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*10. 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

7.3 is the 73% share of 10. The remaining 27% is 2.7, and the two parts add back up to 10.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $10 saves $7.3, so you pay $2.7.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 10 by 73% gives 17.3 and decreasing it by 73% gives 2.7. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 4.671, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
