How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 3 ÷ 100 = 0.03
  2. Multiply: 0.03 × 91 = 2.73
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.73 ÷ 91 × 100 = 3%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/100 = part/91, so part = 3 × 91 ÷ 100 = 2.73. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =3%*91. 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

2.73 is the 3% share of 91. The remaining 97% is 88.27, and the two parts add back up to 91.

Discounts: 3% off an item priced $91 saves $2.73, so you pay $88.27.

Adding and taking away 3%

Increasing 91 by 3% gives 93.73 and decreasing it by 3% gives 88.27. These do not cancel out: raising 91 by 3% and then lowering the result by 3% ends at 90.9181, because the second 3% is taken of a bigger number.
