How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 15 = 10.95
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.95 ÷ 15 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/15, so part = 73 × 15 ÷ 100 = 10.95. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*15. 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

10.95 is the 73% share of 15. The remaining 27% is 4.05, and the two parts add back up to 15.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $15 saves $10.95, so you pay $4.05.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 15 by 73% gives 25.95 and decreasing it by 73% gives 4.05. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 7.0065, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
