How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
  2. Multiply: 0.01 × 49 = 0.49
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.49 ÷ 49 × 100 = 1%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/100 = part/49, so part = 1 × 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1%*49. 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

0.49 is the 1% share of 49. The remaining 99% is 48.51, and the two parts add back up to 49.

Discounts: 1% off an item priced $49 saves $0.49, so you pay $48.51.

Adding and taking away 1%

Increasing 49 by 1% gives 49.49 and decreasing it by 1% gives 48.51. These do not cancel out: raising 49 by 1% and then lowering the result by 1% ends at 48.9951, because the second 1% is taken of a bigger number.
