How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 46 = 33.58
  3. Check: Work backwards: 33.58 ÷ 46 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/46, so part = 73 × 46 ÷ 100 = 33.58. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*46. 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

33.58 is the 73% share of 46. The remaining 27% is 12.42, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $46 saves $33.58, so you pay $12.42.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 46 by 73% gives 79.58 and decreasing it by 73% gives 12.42. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 21.4866, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
