How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
- Multiply: 0.97 × 73 = 70.81
- Check: Work backwards: 70.81 ÷ 73 × 100 = 97%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/73, so part = 97 × 73 ÷ 100 = 70.81. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =97%*73. 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
70.81 is the 97% share of 73. The remaining 3% is 2.19, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Adding and taking away 97%
Increasing 73 by 97% gives 143.81 and decreasing it by 97% gives 2.19. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 4.3143, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
