How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 6 = 5.94
- Check: Work backwards: 5.94 ÷ 6 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/6, so part = 99 × 6 ÷ 100 = 5.94. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*6. 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
5.94 is the 99% share of 6. The remaining 1% is 0.06, and the two parts add back up to 6.
Discounts: 99% off an item priced $6 saves $5.94, so you pay $0.06.
Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 6 by 99% gives 11.94 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.06. These do not cancel out: raising 6 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.1194, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
