How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 35 ÷ 100 = 0.35
  2. Multiply: 0.35 × 9 = 3.15
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.15 ÷ 9 × 100 = 35%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 35/100 = part/9, so part = 35 × 9 ÷ 100 = 3.15. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =35%*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

3.15 is the 35% share of 9. The remaining 65% is 5.85, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Discounts: 35% off an item priced $9 saves $3.15, so you pay $5.85.

Adding and taking away 35%

Increasing 9 by 35% gives 12.15 and decreasing it by 35% gives 5.85. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 35% and then lowering the result by 35% ends at 7.8975, because the second 35% is taken of a bigger number.
