How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
- Multiply: 0.73 × 79 = 57.67
- Check: Work backwards: 57.67 ÷ 79 × 100 = 73%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/79, so part = 73 × 79 ÷ 100 = 57.67. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =73%*79. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
