How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
  2. Multiply: 0.01 × 39 = 0.39
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.39 ÷ 39 × 100 = 1%.

In a spreadsheet: =1%*39. 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

0.39 is the 1% share of 39. The remaining 99% is 38.61, and the two parts add back up to 39.

Discounts: 1% off an item priced $39 saves $0.39, so you pay $38.61.

Adding and taking away 1%

Increasing 39 by 1% gives 39.39 and decreasing it by 1% gives 38.61. These do not cancel out: raising 39 by 1% and then lowering the result by 1% ends at 38.9961, because the second 1% is taken of a bigger number.
