How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
  2. Multiply: 0.9 × 400 = 360
  3. Check: Work backwards: 360 ÷ 400 × 100 = 90%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/400, so part = 90 × 400 ÷ 100 = 360. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =90%*400. 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

360 is the 90% share of 400. The remaining 10% is 40, and the two parts add back up to 400.

Discounts: 90% off an item priced $400 saves $360, so you pay $40.

Adding and taking away 90%

Increasing 400 by 90% gives 760 and decreasing it by 90% gives 40. These do not cancel out: raising 400 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 76, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
