How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 7 = 5.11
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.11 ÷ 7 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/7, so part = 73 × 7 ÷ 100 = 5.11. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*7. 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

5.11 is the 73% share of 7. The remaining 27% is 1.89, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $7 saves $5.11, so you pay $1.89.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 7 by 73% gives 12.11 and decreasing it by 73% gives 1.89. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 3.2697, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
