How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 75 = 74.25
- Check: Work backwards: 74.25 ÷ 75 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/75, so part = 99 × 75 ÷ 100 = 74.25. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*75. 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
74.25 is the 99% share of 75. The remaining 1% is 0.75, and the two parts add back up to 75.
Discounts: 99% off an item priced $75 saves $74.25, so you pay $0.75.
Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 75 by 99% gives 149.25 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.75. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 1.4925, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
