How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
- Multiply: 0.88 × 99 = 87.12
- Check: Work backwards: 87.12 ÷ 99 × 100 = 88%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/99, so part = 88 × 99 ÷ 100 = 87.12. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =88%*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

Adding and taking away 88%
Increasing 99 by 88% gives 186.12 and decreasing it by 88% gives 11.88. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 22.3344, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
