How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 92 ÷ 100 = 0.92
  2. Multiply: 0.92 × 72 = 66.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 66.24 ÷ 72 × 100 = 92%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 92/100 = part/72, so part = 92 × 72 ÷ 100 = 66.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =92%*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

66.24 is the 92% share of 72. The remaining 8% is 5.76, and the two parts add back up to 72.

Discounts: 92% off an item priced $72 saves $66.24, so you pay $5.76.

Adding and taking away 92%

Increasing 72 by 92% gives 138.24 and decreasing it by 92% gives 5.76. These do not cancel out: raising 72 by 92% and then lowering the result by 92% ends at 11.0592, because the second 92% is taken of a bigger number.
