How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
- Multiply: 0.9 × 1 = 0.9
- Check: Work backwards: 0.9 ÷ 1 × 100 = 90%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/1, so part = 90 × 1 ÷ 100 = 0.9. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =90%*1. 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
0.9 is the 90% share of 1. The remaining 10% is 0.1, and the two parts add back up to 1.
Discounts: 90% off an item priced $1 saves $0.9, so you pay $0.1.
Adding and taking away 90%
Increasing 1 by 90% gives 1.9 and decreasing it by 90% gives 0.1. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 0.19, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
