How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
  2. Multiply: 0.01 × 19 = 0.19
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.19 ÷ 19 × 100 = 1%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/100 = part/19, so part = 1 × 19 ÷ 100 = 0.19. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1%*19. 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

0.19 is the 1% share of 19. The remaining 99% is 18.81, and the two parts add back up to 19.

Discounts: 1% off an item priced $19 saves $0.19, so you pay $18.81.

Adding and taking away 1%

Increasing 19 by 1% gives 19.19 and decreasing it by 1% gives 18.81. These do not cancel out: raising 19 by 1% and then lowering the result by 1% ends at 18.9981, because the second 1% is taken of a bigger number.
