How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 90 = 9.9
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.9 ÷ 90 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/90, so part = 11 × 90 ÷ 100 = 9.9. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*90. 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

9.9 is the 11% share of 90. The remaining 89% is 80.1, and the two parts add back up to 90.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $90 saves $9.9, so you pay $80.1.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 90 by 11% gives 99.9 and decreasing it by 11% gives 80.1. These do not cancel out: raising 90 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 88.911, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
