How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
- Multiply: 0.9 × 80 = 72
- Check: Work backwards: 72 ÷ 80 × 100 = 90%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/80, so part = 90 × 80 ÷ 100 = 72. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =90%*80. 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
72 is the 90% share of 80. The remaining 10% is 8, and the two parts add back up to 80.
Discounts: 90% off an item priced $80 saves $72, so you pay $8.
Adding and taking away 90%
Increasing 80 by 90% gives 152 and decreasing it by 90% gives 8. These do not cancel out: raising 80 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 15.2, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
