How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49
  2. Multiply: 0.49 × 1 = 0.49
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.49 ÷ 1 × 100 = 49%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 49/100 = part/1, so part = 49 × 1 ÷ 100 = 0.49. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =49%*1. 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

0.49 is the 49% share of 1. The remaining 51% is 0.51, and the two parts add back up to 1.

Discounts: 49% off an item priced $1 saves $0.49, so you pay $0.51.

Adding and taking away 49%

Increasing 1 by 49% gives 1.49 and decreasing it by 49% gives 0.51. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 49% and then lowering the result by 49% ends at 0.7599, because the second 49% is taken of a bigger number.
