How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
  2. Multiply: 0.25 × 99 = 24.75
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.75 ÷ 99 × 100 = 25%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/99, so part = 25 × 99 ÷ 100 = 24.75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =25%*99. 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

24.75 is the 25% share of 99. The remaining 75% is 74.25, and the two parts add back up to 99.

Discounts: 25% off an item priced $99 saves $24.75, so you pay $74.25.

Adding and taking away 25%

Increasing 99 by 25% gives 123.75 and decreasing it by 25% gives 74.25. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 92.8125, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
