How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
  2. Multiply: 0.95 × 75 = 71.25
  3. Check: Work backwards: 71.25 ÷ 75 × 100 = 95%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/75, so part = 95 × 75 ÷ 100 = 71.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =95%*75. 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

71.25 is the 95% share of 75. The remaining 5% is 3.75, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 95% off an item priced $75 saves $71.25, so you pay $3.75.

Adding and taking away 95%

Increasing 75 by 95% gives 146.25 and decreasing it by 95% gives 3.75. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 7.3125, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
