How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 88 = 87.12
- Check: Work backwards: 87.12 ÷ 88 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/88, so part = 99 × 88 ÷ 100 = 87.12. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*88. 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
87.12 is the 99% share of 88. The remaining 1% is 0.88, and the two parts add back up to 88.
Discounts: 99% off an item priced $88 saves $87.12, so you pay $0.88.
Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 88 by 99% gives 175.12 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.88. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 1.7512, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
