How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 93 ÷ 100 = 0.93
- Multiply: 0.93 × 72 = 66.96
- Check: Work backwards: 66.96 ÷ 72 × 100 = 93%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 93/100 = part/72, so part = 93 × 72 ÷ 100 = 66.96. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =93%*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.
