How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
  2. Multiply: 0.9 × 89 = 80.1
  3. Check: Work backwards: 80.1 ÷ 89 × 100 = 90%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/89, so part = 90 × 89 ÷ 100 = 80.1. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =90%*89. 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

80.1 is the 90% share of 89. The remaining 10% is 8.9, and the two parts add back up to 89.

Discounts: 90% off an item priced $89 saves $80.1, so you pay $8.9.

Adding and taking away 90%

Increasing 89 by 90% gives 169.1 and decreasing it by 90% gives 8.9. These do not cancel out: raising 89 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 16.91, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
