How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 90 = 89.1
- Check: Work backwards: 89.1 ÷ 90 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/90, so part = 99 × 90 ÷ 100 = 89.1. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*90. 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
89.1 is the 99% share of 90. The remaining 1% is 0.9, and the two parts add back up to 90.
Discounts: 99% off an item priced $90 saves $89.1, so you pay $0.9.
Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 90 by 99% gives 179.1 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.9. These do not cancel out: raising 90 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 1.791, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
