How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
- Multiply: 0.27 × 99 = 26.73
- Check: Work backwards: 26.73 ÷ 99 × 100 = 27%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/99, so part = 27 × 99 ÷ 100 = 26.73. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =27%*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
26.73 is the 27% share of 99. The remaining 73% is 72.27, and the two parts add back up to 99.

Adding and taking away 27%
Increasing 99 by 27% gives 125.73 and decreasing it by 27% gives 72.27. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 91.7829, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
