How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
- Multiply: 0.9 × 83 = 74.7
- Check: Work backwards: 74.7 ÷ 83 × 100 = 90%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/83, so part = 90 × 83 ÷ 100 = 74.7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =90%*83. 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
74.7 is the 90% share of 83. The remaining 10% is 8.3, and the two parts add back up to 83.
Discounts: 90% off an item priced $83 saves $74.7, so you pay $8.3.
Adding and taking away 90%
Increasing 83 by 90% gives 157.7 and decreasing it by 90% gives 8.3. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 15.77, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
