How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
  2. Multiply: 0.9 × 96 = 86.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 86.4 ÷ 96 × 100 = 90%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/96, so part = 90 × 96 ÷ 100 = 86.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =90%*96. 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

86.4 is the 90% share of 96. The remaining 10% is 9.6, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 90% off an item priced $96 saves $86.4, so you pay $9.6.

Adding and taking away 90%

Increasing 96 by 90% gives 182.4 and decreasing it by 90% gives 9.6. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 18.24, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
