How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 36 = 35.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 35.64 ÷ 36 × 100 = 99%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/36, so part = 99 × 36 ÷ 100 = 35.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*36. 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

35.64 is the 99% share of 36. The remaining 1% is 0.36, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 99% off an item priced $36 saves $35.64, so you pay $0.36.

Adding and taking away 99%

Increasing 36 by 99% gives 71.64 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.36. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.7164, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
