How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 70 = 69.3
- Check: Work backwards: 69.3 ÷ 70 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/70, so part = 99 × 70 ÷ 100 = 69.3. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*70. 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
69.3 is the 99% share of 70. The remaining 1% is 0.7, and the two parts add back up to 70.
Discounts: 99% off an item priced $70 saves $69.3, so you pay $0.7.
Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 70 by 99% gives 139.3 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.7. These do not cancel out: raising 70 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 1.393, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
