How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 32 ÷ 100 = 0.32
  2. Multiply: 0.32 × 9 = 2.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.88 ÷ 9 × 100 = 32%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/100 = part/9, so part = 32 × 9 ÷ 100 = 2.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =32%*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

2.88 is the 32% share of 9. The remaining 68% is 6.12, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Discounts: 32% off an item priced $9 saves $2.88, so you pay $6.12.

Adding and taking away 32%

Increasing 9 by 32% gives 11.88 and decreasing it by 32% gives 6.12. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 32% and then lowering the result by 32% ends at 8.0784, because the second 32% is taken of a bigger number.
