How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 90 = 63.9
  3. Check: Work backwards: 63.9 ÷ 90 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/90, so part = 71 × 90 ÷ 100 = 63.9. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*90. 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

63.9 is the 71% share of 90. The remaining 29% is 26.1, and the two parts add back up to 90.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $90 saves $63.9, so you pay $26.1.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 90 by 71% gives 153.9 and decreasing it by 71% gives 26.1. These do not cancel out: raising 90 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 44.631, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
