How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 87 ÷ 100 = 0.87
- Multiply: 0.87 × 74 = 64.38
- Check: Work backwards: 64.38 ÷ 74 × 100 = 87%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/100 = part/74, so part = 87 × 74 ÷ 100 = 64.38. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =87%*74. 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

Adding and taking away 87%
Increasing 74 by 87% gives 138.38 and decreasing it by 87% gives 9.62. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 87% and then lowering the result by 87% ends at 17.9894, because the second 87% is taken of a bigger number.
