How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 91 ÷ 100 = 0.91
  2. Multiply: 0.91 × 99 = 90.09
  3. Check: Work backwards: 90.09 ÷ 99 × 100 = 91%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 91/100 = part/99, so part = 91 × 99 ÷ 100 = 90.09. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =91%*99. 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

90.09 is the 91% share of 99. The remaining 9% is 8.91, and the two parts add back up to 99.

Discounts: 91% off an item priced $99 saves $90.09, so you pay $8.91.

Adding and taking away 91%

Increasing 99 by 91% gives 189.09 and decreasing it by 91% gives 8.91. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 91% and then lowering the result by 91% ends at 17.0181, because the second 91% is taken of a bigger number.
