How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
- Multiply: 0.27 × 9 = 2.43
- Check: Work backwards: 2.43 ÷ 9 × 100 = 27%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/9, so part = 27 × 9 ÷ 100 = 2.43. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =27%*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
2.43 is the 27% share of 9. The remaining 73% is 6.57, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Adding and taking away 27%
Increasing 9 by 27% gives 11.43 and decreasing it by 27% gives 6.57. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 8.3439, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
