How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
  2. Multiply: 0.84 × 73 = 61.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 61.32 ÷ 73 × 100 = 84%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/73, so part = 84 × 73 ÷ 100 = 61.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84%*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

61.32 is the 84% share of 73. The remaining 16% is 11.68, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 84% off an item priced $73 saves $61.32, so you pay $11.68.

Adding and taking away 84%

Increasing 73 by 84% gives 134.32 and decreasing it by 84% gives 11.68. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 21.4912, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
