Percentages can always by divided by 100 to get their decimal value. 1% = 1/100

Multiply the decimal (in this case fraction) value by 89 to get your answer:

(1/100) x 89 = 89/100 = 0.89

Additional explanation:

100% is everything (in this case 89)

If you divide this in 100 equal pieces you get 100 pieces each worth 1%.

So 89/100 =0.89

(If you need 25% that's no problem either. That is he same as a quarter

89/4 = 89*0.25 = 22.25)

Just remember that percent means per 100 parts.
