How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
- Multiply: 0.09 × 99 = 8.91
- Check: Work backwards: 8.91 ÷ 99 × 100 = 9%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/99, so part = 9 × 99 ÷ 100 = 8.91. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =9%*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
8.91 is the 9% share of 99. The remaining 91% is 90.09, and the two parts add back up to 99.
Discounts: 9% off an item priced $99 saves $8.91, so you pay $90.09.
Adding and taking away 9%
Increasing 99 by 9% gives 107.91 and decreasing it by 9% gives 90.09. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 98.1981, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
