How to work it out

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

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

In a spreadsheet: =49%*100. 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

49 is the 49% share of 100. The remaining 51% is 51, and the two parts add back up to 100.

Discounts: 49% off an item priced $100 saves $49, so you pay $51.

Adding and taking away 49%

Increasing 100 by 49% gives 149 and decreasing it by 49% gives 51. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 49% and then lowering the result by 49% ends at 75.99, because the second 49% is taken of a bigger number.
