How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
  2. Multiply: 0.22 × 9 = 1.98
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.98 ÷ 9 × 100 = 22%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/9, so part = 22 × 9 ÷ 100 = 1.98. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22%*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

1.98 is the 22% share of 9. The remaining 78% is 7.02, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Discounts: 22% off an item priced $9 saves $1.98, so you pay $7.02.

Adding and taking away 22%

Increasing 9 by 22% gives 10.98 and decreasing it by 22% gives 7.02. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 8.5644, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
