How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 49 = 48.51
  3. Check: Work backwards: 48.51 ÷ 49 × 100 = 99%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/49, so part = 99 × 49 ÷ 100 = 48.51. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*49. 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

48.51 is the 99% share of 49. The remaining 1% is 0.49, and the two parts add back up to 49.

Discounts: 99% off an item priced $49 saves $48.51, so you pay $0.49.

Adding and taking away 99%

Increasing 49 by 99% gives 97.51 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.49. These do not cancel out: raising 49 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.9751, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
