How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83
- Multiply: 0.83 × 90 = 74.7
- Check: Work backwards: 74.7 ÷ 90 × 100 = 83%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/100 = part/90, so part = 83 × 90 ÷ 100 = 74.7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =83%*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
74.7 is the 83% share of 90. The remaining 17% is 15.3, and the two parts add back up to 90.

Adding and taking away 83%
Increasing 90 by 83% gives 164.7 and decreasing it by 83% gives 15.3. These do not cancel out: raising 90 by 83% and then lowering the result by 83% ends at 27.999, because the second 83% is taken of a bigger number.
