How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 73 = 72.27
- Check: Work backwards: 72.27 ÷ 73 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/73, so part = 99 × 73 ÷ 100 = 72.27. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*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
72.27 is the 99% share of 73. The remaining 1% is 0.73, and the two parts add back up to 73.
Discounts: 99% off an item priced $73 saves $72.27, so you pay $0.73.
Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 73 by 99% gives 145.27 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.73. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 1.4527, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
