How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 91 ÷ 100 = 0.91
  2. Multiply: 0.91 × 72 = 65.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 65.52 ÷ 72 × 100 = 91%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 91/100 = part/72, so part = 91 × 72 ÷ 100 = 65.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =91%*72. 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

65.52 is the 91% share of 72. The remaining 9% is 6.48, and the two parts add back up to 72.

Discounts: 91% off an item priced $72 saves $65.52, so you pay $6.48.

Adding and taking away 91%

Increasing 72 by 91% gives 137.52 and decreasing it by 91% gives 6.48. These do not cancel out: raising 72 by 91% and then lowering the result by 91% ends at 12.3768, because the second 91% is taken of a bigger number.
