How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 58 = 57.42
  3. Check: Work backwards: 57.42 ÷ 58 × 100 = 99%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/58, so part = 99 × 58 ÷ 100 = 57.42. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*58. 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

57.42 is the 99% share of 58. The remaining 1% is 0.58, and the two parts add back up to 58.

Discounts: 99% off an item priced $58 saves $57.42, so you pay $0.58.

Adding and taking away 99%

Increasing 58 by 99% gives 115.42 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.58. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 1.1542, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
