How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
- Multiply: 0.73 × 5 = 3.65
- Check: Work backwards: 3.65 ÷ 5 × 100 = 73%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/5, so part = 73 × 5 ÷ 100 = 3.65. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =73%*5. 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
3.65 is the 73% share of 5. The remaining 27% is 1.35, and the two parts add back up to 5.
Discounts: 73% off an item priced $5 saves $3.65, so you pay $1.35.
Adding and taking away 73%
Increasing 5 by 73% gives 8.65 and decreasing it by 73% gives 1.35. These do not cancel out: raising 5 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 2.3355, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
