How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 95 = 94.05
  3. Check: Work backwards: 94.05 ÷ 95 × 100 = 99%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/95, so part = 99 × 95 ÷ 100 = 94.05. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*95. 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

94.05 is the 99% share of 95. The remaining 1% is 0.95, and the two parts add back up to 95.

Discounts: 99% off an item priced $95 saves $94.05, so you pay $0.95.

Adding and taking away 99%

Increasing 95 by 99% gives 189.05 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.95. These do not cancel out: raising 95 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 1.8905, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
