How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
- Multiply: 0.01 × 83 = 0.83
- Check: Work backwards: 0.83 ÷ 83 × 100 = 1%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/100 = part/83, so part = 1 × 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =1%*83. 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
0.83 is the 1% share of 83. The remaining 99% is 82.17, and the two parts add back up to 83.
Discounts: 1% off an item priced $83 saves $0.83, so you pay $82.17.
Adding and taking away 1%
Increasing 83 by 1% gives 83.83 and decreasing it by 1% gives 82.17. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 1% and then lowering the result by 1% ends at 82.9917, because the second 1% is taken of a bigger number.
