How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 74 = 71.78
  3. Check: Work backwards: 71.78 ÷ 74 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/74, so part = 97 × 74 ÷ 100 = 71.78. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*74. 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

71.78 is the 97% share of 74. The remaining 3% is 2.22, and the two parts add back up to 74.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $74 saves $71.78, so you pay $2.22.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 74 by 97% gives 145.78 and decreasing it by 97% gives 2.22. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 4.3734, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
