How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 75 = 54.75
  3. Check: Work backwards: 54.75 ÷ 75 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/75, so part = 73 × 75 ÷ 100 = 54.75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*75. 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

54.75 is the 73% share of 75. The remaining 27% is 20.25, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $75 saves $54.75, so you pay $20.25.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 75 by 73% gives 129.75 and decreasing it by 73% gives 20.25. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 35.0325, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
