How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
- Multiply: 0.9 × 74 = 66.6
- Check: Work backwards: 66.6 ÷ 74 × 100 = 90%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/74, so part = 90 × 74 ÷ 100 = 66.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =90%*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
66.6 is the 90% share of 74. The remaining 10% is 7.4, and the two parts add back up to 74.
Discounts: 90% off an item priced $74 saves $66.6, so you pay $7.4.
Adding and taking away 90%
Increasing 74 by 90% gives 140.6 and decreasing it by 90% gives 7.4. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 14.06, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
