How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 73 = 71.54
  3. Check: Work backwards: 71.54 ÷ 73 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/73, so part = 98 × 73 ÷ 100 = 71.54. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*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

71.54 is the 98% share of 73. The remaining 2% is 1.46, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $73 saves $71.54, so you pay $1.46.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 73 by 98% gives 144.54 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.46. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 2.8908, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
