How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3
- Multiply: 0.3 × 99 = 29.7
- Check: Work backwards: 29.7 ÷ 99 × 100 = 30%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 30/100 = part/99, so part = 30 × 99 ÷ 100 = 29.7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =30%*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
29.7 is the 30% share of 99. The remaining 70% is 69.3, and the two parts add back up to 99.
Discounts: 30% off an item priced $99 saves $29.7, so you pay $69.3.
Adding and taking away 30%
Increasing 99 by 30% gives 128.7 and decreasing it by 30% gives 69.3. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 30% and then lowering the result by 30% ends at 90.09, because the second 30% is taken of a bigger number.
