How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 84 = 83.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 83.16 ÷ 84 × 100 = 99%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/84, so part = 99 × 84 ÷ 100 = 83.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*84. 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

83.16 is the 99% share of 84. The remaining 1% is 0.84, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 99% off an item priced $84 saves $83.16, so you pay $0.84.

Adding and taking away 99%

Increasing 84 by 99% gives 167.16 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.84. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 1.6716, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
