How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
- Multiply: 0.73 × 55 = 40.15
- Check: Work backwards: 40.15 ÷ 55 × 100 = 73%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/55, so part = 73 × 55 ÷ 100 = 40.15. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =73%*55. 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
40.15 is the 73% share of 55. The remaining 27% is 14.85, and the two parts add back up to 55.

Adding and taking away 73%
Increasing 55 by 73% gives 95.15 and decreasing it by 73% gives 14.85. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 25.6905, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
