How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 80 ÷ 100 = 0.8
  2. Multiply: 0.8 × 73 = 58.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 58.4 ÷ 73 × 100 = 80%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 80/100 = part/73, so part = 80 × 73 ÷ 100 = 58.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =80%*73. 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

58.4 is the 80% share of 73. The remaining 20% is 14.6, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 80% off an item priced $73 saves $58.4, so you pay $14.6.

Adding and taking away 80%

Increasing 73 by 80% gives 131.4 and decreasing it by 80% gives 14.6. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 80% and then lowering the result by 80% ends at 26.28, because the second 80% is taken of a bigger number.
