How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 78 = 77.22
- Check: Work backwards: 77.22 ÷ 78 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/78, so part = 99 × 78 ÷ 100 = 77.22. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*78. 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
77.22 is the 99% share of 78. The remaining 1% is 0.78, and the two parts add back up to 78.

Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 78 by 99% gives 155.22 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.78. These do not cancel out: raising 78 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 1.5522, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
