How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 74 ÷ 100 = 0.74
- Multiply: 0.74 × 7 = 5.18
- Check: Work backwards: 5.18 ÷ 7 × 100 = 74%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/100 = part/7, so part = 74 × 7 ÷ 100 = 5.18. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =74%*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
5.18 is the 74% share of 7. The remaining 26% is 1.82, and the two parts add back up to 7.
Discounts: 74% off an item priced $7 saves $5.18, so you pay $1.82.
Adding and taking away 74%
Increasing 7 by 74% gives 12.18 and decreasing it by 74% gives 1.82. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 74% and then lowering the result by 74% ends at 3.1668, because the second 74% is taken of a bigger number.
