How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
  2. Multiply: 0.95 × 1 = 0.95
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.95 ÷ 1 × 100 = 95%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/1, so part = 95 × 1 ÷ 100 = 0.95. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =95%*1. 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

0.95 is the 95% share of 1. The remaining 5% is 0.05, and the two parts add back up to 1.

Discounts: 95% off an item priced $1 saves $0.95, so you pay $0.05.

Adding and taking away 95%

Increasing 1 by 95% gives 1.95 and decreasing it by 95% gives 0.05. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 0.0975, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
