How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
- Multiply: 0.24 × 9 = 2.16
- Check: Work backwards: 2.16 ÷ 9 × 100 = 24%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/9, so part = 24 × 9 ÷ 100 = 2.16. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =24%*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
2.16 is the 24% share of 9. The remaining 76% is 6.84, and the two parts add back up to 9.
Discounts: 24% off an item priced $9 saves $2.16, so you pay $6.84.
Adding and taking away 24%
Increasing 9 by 24% gives 11.16 and decreasing it by 24% gives 6.84. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 8.4816, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
