How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.09 × 100 = 9%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9% of 100 is 0.09 × 100 = 9.

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

In a spreadsheet: =9/100*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

9 is less than a tenth of 100. The part that is left, 91, is the other 91%.

Test scores: 9 correct answers out of 100 is a score of 9%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 9 is 9% of a number, you can get that number back: 9 ÷ 0.09 = 100. And 100 as a percentage of 9 is 1,111.1111%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
