How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
- Multiply: 0.96 × 1 = 0.96
- Check: Work backwards: 0.96 ÷ 1 × 100 = 96%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/1, so part = 96 × 1 ÷ 100 = 0.96. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =96%*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
0.96 is the 96% share of 1. The remaining 4% is 0.04, and the two parts add back up to 1.
Discounts: 96% off an item priced $1 saves $0.96, so you pay $0.04.
Adding and taking away 96%
Increasing 1 by 96% gives 1.96 and decreasing it by 96% gives 0.04. These do not cancel out: raising 1 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 0.0784, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
