How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
  2. Multiply: 0.84 × 99 = 83.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 83.16 ÷ 99 × 100 = 84%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/99, so part = 84 × 99 ÷ 100 = 83.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84%*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

83.16 is the 84% share of 99. The remaining 16% is 15.84, and the two parts add back up to 99.

Discounts: 84% off an item priced $99 saves $83.16, so you pay $15.84.

Adding and taking away 84%

Increasing 99 by 84% gives 182.16 and decreasing it by 84% gives 15.84. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 29.1456, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
