How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 91 ÷ 100 = 0.91
  2. Multiply: 0.91 × 100 = 91
  3. Check: Work backwards: 91 ÷ 100 × 100 = 91%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 91/100 = part/100, so part = 91 × 100 ÷ 100 = 91. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =91%*100. 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

91 is the 91% share of 100. The remaining 9% is 9, and the two parts add back up to 100.

Discounts: 91% off an item priced $100 saves $91, so you pay $9.

Adding and taking away 91%

Increasing 100 by 91% gives 191 and decreasing it by 91% gives 9. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 91% and then lowering the result by 91% ends at 17.19, because the second 91% is taken of a bigger number.
