How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
- Multiply: 0.73 × 6 = 4.38
- Check: Work backwards: 4.38 ÷ 6 × 100 = 73%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/6, so part = 73 × 6 ÷ 100 = 4.38. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =73%*6. 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
4.38 is the 73% share of 6. The remaining 27% is 1.62, and the two parts add back up to 6.
Discounts: 73% off an item priced $6 saves $4.38, so you pay $1.62.
Adding and taking away 73%
Increasing 6 by 73% gives 10.38 and decreasing it by 73% gives 1.62. These do not cancel out: raising 6 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 2.8026, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
