How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 74 = 73.26
- Check: Work backwards: 73.26 ÷ 74 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/74, so part = 99 × 74 ÷ 100 = 73.26. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*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

Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 74 by 99% gives 147.26 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.74. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 1.4726, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
