How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
  2. Multiply: 0.9 × 13 = 11.7
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.7 ÷ 13 × 100 = 90%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/13, so part = 90 × 13 ÷ 100 = 11.7. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =90%*13. 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

11.7 is the 90% share of 13. The remaining 10% is 1.3, and the two parts add back up to 13.

Discounts: 90% off an item priced $13 saves $11.7, so you pay $1.3.

Adding and taking away 90%

Increasing 13 by 90% gives 24.7 and decreasing it by 90% gives 1.3. These do not cancel out: raising 13 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 2.47, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
