How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
  2. Multiply: 0.95 × 99 = 94.05
  3. Check: Work backwards: 94.05 ÷ 99 × 100 = 95%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/99, so part = 95 × 99 ÷ 100 = 94.05. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =95%*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

94.05 is the 95% share of 99. The remaining 5% is 4.95, and the two parts add back up to 99.

Discounts: 95% off an item priced $99 saves $94.05, so you pay $4.95.

Adding and taking away 95%

Increasing 99 by 95% gives 193.05 and decreasing it by 95% gives 4.95. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 9.6525, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
