How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
  2. Multiply: 0.9 × 35 = 31.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.5 ÷ 35 × 100 = 90%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/35, so part = 90 × 35 ÷ 100 = 31.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =90%*35. 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

31.5 is the 90% share of 35. The remaining 10% is 3.5, and the two parts add back up to 35.

Discounts: 90% off an item priced $35 saves $31.5, so you pay $3.5.

Adding and taking away 90%

Increasing 35 by 90% gives 66.5 and decreasing it by 90% gives 3.5. These do not cancel out: raising 35 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 6.65, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
