How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 6 ÷ 9 = 0.666667
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.666667 × 100 = 66.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 66.6667% of 9 is 0.666667 × 9 = 6.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/9 = p/100, so p = 6 × 100 ÷ 9 = 66.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6/9*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.

What the result means

6 is more than half but less than three quarters of 9. The part that is left, 3, is the other 33.3333%.

Test scores: 6 correct answers out of 9 is a score of 66.6667%, which on a common US grading scale is a D.

Turning it around

If you know that 6 is 66.6667% of a number, you can get that number back: 6 ÷ 0.666667 = 9. And 9 as a percentage of 6 is 150%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
