How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 27 = 26.73
- Check: Work backwards: 26.73 ÷ 27 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/27, so part = 99 × 27 ÷ 100 = 26.73. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*27. 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
26.73 is the 99% share of 27. The remaining 1% is 0.27, and the two parts add back up to 27.

Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 27 by 99% gives 53.73 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.27. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.5373, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
