How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 89 ÷ 100 = 0.89
  2. Multiply: 0.89 × 10 = 8.9
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.9 ÷ 10 × 100 = 89%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 89/100 = part/10, so part = 89 × 10 ÷ 100 = 8.9. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =89%*10. 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

8.9 is the 89% share of 10. The remaining 11% is 1.1, and the two parts add back up to 10.

Discounts: 89% off an item priced $10 saves $8.9, so you pay $1.1.

Adding and taking away 89%

Increasing 10 by 89% gives 18.9 and decreasing it by 89% gives 1.1. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 89% and then lowering the result by 89% ends at 2.079, because the second 89% is taken of a bigger number.
