How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 58 = 42.34
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.34 ÷ 58 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/58, so part = 73 × 58 ÷ 100 = 42.34. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*58. 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

42.34 is the 73% share of 58. The remaining 27% is 15.66, and the two parts add back up to 58.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $58 saves $42.34, so you pay $15.66.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 58 by 73% gives 100.34 and decreasing it by 73% gives 15.66. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 27.0918, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
