How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 23 = 22.77
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.77 ÷ 23 × 100 = 99%.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*23. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 99%
