How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
- Multiply: 0.7 × 99 = 69.3
- Check: Work backwards: 69.3 ÷ 99 × 100 = 70%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/100 = part/99, so part = 70 × 99 ÷ 100 = 69.3. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =70%*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
69.3 is the 70% share of 99. The remaining 30% is 29.7, and the two parts add back up to 99.
Discounts: 70% off an item priced $99 saves $69.3, so you pay $29.7.
Adding and taking away 70%
Increasing 99 by 70% gives 168.3 and decreasing it by 70% gives 29.7. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 50.49, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
