How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
- Multiply: 0.26 × 9 = 2.34
- Check: Work backwards: 2.34 ÷ 9 × 100 = 26%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/9, so part = 26 × 9 ÷ 100 = 2.34. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =26%*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
2.34 is the 26% share of 9. The remaining 74% is 6.66, and the two parts add back up to 9.
Discounts: 26% off an item priced $9 saves $2.34, so you pay $6.66.
Adding and taking away 26%
Increasing 9 by 26% gives 11.34 and decreasing it by 26% gives 6.66. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 8.3916, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
