How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 87 ÷ 100 = 0.87
- Multiply: 0.87 × 90 = 78.3
- Check: Work backwards: 78.3 ÷ 90 × 100 = 87%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/100 = part/90, so part = 87 × 90 ÷ 100 = 78.3. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =87%*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
78.3 is the 87% share of 90. The remaining 13% is 11.7, and the two parts add back up to 90.
Discounts: 87% off an item priced $90 saves $78.3, so you pay $11.7.
Adding and taking away 87%
Increasing 90 by 87% gives 168.3 and decreasing it by 87% gives 11.7. These do not cancel out: raising 90 by 87% and then lowering the result by 87% ends at 21.879, because the second 87% is taken of a bigger number.
