How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
- Multiply: 0.73 × 56 = 40.88
- Check: Work backwards: 40.88 ÷ 56 × 100 = 73%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/56, so part = 73 × 56 ÷ 100 = 40.88. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =73%*56. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 73%
Increasing 56 by 73% gives 96.88 and decreasing it by 73% gives 15.12. These do not cancel out: raising 56 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 26.1576, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
