How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 28 = 20.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.44 ÷ 28 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/28, so part = 73 × 28 ÷ 100 = 20.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*28. 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

20.44 is the 73% share of 28. The remaining 27% is 7.56, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $28 saves $20.44, so you pay $7.56.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 28 by 73% gives 48.44 and decreasing it by 73% gives 7.56. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 13.0788, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
