How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
- Multiply: 0.73 × 100 = 73
- Check: Work backwards: 73 ÷ 100 × 100 = 73%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/100, so part = 73 × 100 ÷ 100 = 73. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =73%*100. 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
73 is the 73% share of 100. The remaining 27% is 27, and the two parts add back up to 100.
Discounts: 73% off an item priced $100 saves $73, so you pay $27.
Adding and taking away 73%
Increasing 100 by 73% gives 173 and decreasing it by 73% gives 27. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 46.71, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
