How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 60 = 43.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 43.8 ÷ 60 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/60, so part = 73 × 60 ÷ 100 = 43.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*60. 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

43.8 is the 73% share of 60. The remaining 27% is 16.2, and the two parts add back up to 60.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $60 saves $43.8, so you pay $16.2.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 60 by 73% gives 103.8 and decreasing it by 73% gives 16.2. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 28.026, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
