How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 48 = 35.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 35.04 ÷ 48 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/48, so part = 73 × 48 ÷ 100 = 35.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*48. 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

35.04 is the 73% share of 48. The remaining 27% is 12.96, and the two parts add back up to 48.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $48 saves $35.04, so you pay $12.96.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 48 by 73% gives 83.04 and decreasing it by 73% gives 12.96. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 22.4208, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
