How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
- Multiply: 0.51 × 99 = 50.49
- Check: Work backwards: 50.49 ÷ 99 × 100 = 51%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/99, so part = 51 × 99 ÷ 100 = 50.49. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =51%*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
50.49 is the 51% share of 99. The remaining 49% is 48.51, and the two parts add back up to 99.

Adding and taking away 51%
Increasing 99 by 51% gives 149.49 and decreasing it by 51% gives 48.51. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 73.2501, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
