The formula used to calculate 10 percent more than 90, as well as other percent more than problems, can be seen below:
PM = ((P ÷ 100) × OV) + OV
PM (Percent More) is the answer we want, P (%) is the percent, and OV (Original Value) is the starting value. Therefore, when we substitute 10 for P and 90 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 10 percent more than 90, as solved here:
PM = ((10 ÷ 100) × 90) + 90
PM = (0.1 × 90) + 90
PM = 9 + 90
PM = 99
10% more than 90 = 99
