How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
  2. Multiply: 0.96 × 99 = 95.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 95.04 ÷ 99 × 100 = 96%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/99, so part = 96 × 99 ÷ 100 = 95.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96%*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

95.04 is the 96% share of 99. The remaining 4% is 3.96, and the two parts add back up to 99.

Discounts: 96% off an item priced $99 saves $95.04, so you pay $3.96.

Adding and taking away 96%

Increasing 99 by 96% gives 194.04 and decreasing it by 96% gives 3.96. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 7.7616, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
