How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
  2. Multiply: 0.9 × 77 = 69.3
  3. Check: Work backwards: 69.3 ÷ 77 × 100 = 90%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/77, so part = 90 × 77 ÷ 100 = 69.3. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =90%*77. 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

69.3 is the 90% share of 77. The remaining 10% is 7.7, and the two parts add back up to 77.

Discounts: 90% off an item priced $77 saves $69.3, so you pay $7.7.

Adding and taking away 90%

Increasing 77 by 90% gives 146.3 and decreasing it by 90% gives 7.7. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 14.63, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
