How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
- Multiply: 0.28 × 99 = 27.72
- Check: Work backwards: 27.72 ÷ 99 × 100 = 28%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/99, so part = 28 × 99 ÷ 100 = 27.72. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =28%*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

Adding and taking away 28%
Increasing 99 by 28% gives 126.72 and decreasing it by 28% gives 71.28. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 91.2384, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
