How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 16 = 15.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.84 ÷ 16 × 100 = 99%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/16, so part = 99 × 16 ÷ 100 = 15.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*16. 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

15.84 is the 99% share of 16. The remaining 1% is 0.16, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 99% off an item priced $16 saves $15.84, so you pay $0.16.

Adding and taking away 99%

Increasing 16 by 99% gives 31.84 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.16. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.3184, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
