How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 9 = 1.17
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.17 ÷ 9 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/9, so part = 13 × 9 ÷ 100 = 1.17. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*9. 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

1.17 is the 13% share of 9. The remaining 87% is 7.83, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $9 saves $1.17, so you pay $7.83.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 9 by 13% gives 10.17 and decreasing it by 13% gives 7.83. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 8.8479, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
