How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
- Multiply: 0.73 × 21 = 15.33
- Check: Work backwards: 15.33 ÷ 21 × 100 = 73%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/21, so part = 73 × 21 ÷ 100 = 15.33. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =73%*21. 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
15.33 is the 73% share of 21. The remaining 27% is 5.67, and the two parts add back up to 21.

Adding and taking away 73%
Increasing 21 by 73% gives 36.33 and decreasing it by 73% gives 5.67. These do not cancel out: raising 21 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 9.8091, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
