How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 71 = 70.29
- Check: Work backwards: 70.29 ÷ 71 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/71, so part = 99 × 71 ÷ 100 = 70.29. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*71. 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
70.29 is the 99% share of 71. The remaining 1% is 0.71, and the two parts add back up to 71.
Discounts: 99% off an item priced $71 saves $70.29, so you pay $0.71.
Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 71 by 99% gives 141.29 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.71. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 1.4129, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
