How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
- Multiply: 0.9 × 60 = 54
- Check: Work backwards: 54 ÷ 60 × 100 = 90%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/60, so part = 90 × 60 ÷ 100 = 54. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =90%*60. 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
54 is the 90% share of 60. The remaining 10% is 6, and the two parts add back up to 60.
Discounts: 90% off an item priced $60 saves $54, so you pay $6.
Adding and taking away 90%
Increasing 60 by 90% gives 114 and decreasing it by 90% gives 6. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 11.4, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
