How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
  2. Multiply: 0.46 × 9 = 4.14
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.14 ÷ 9 × 100 = 46%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/9, so part = 46 × 9 ÷ 100 = 4.14. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46%*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

4.14 is the 46% share of 9. The remaining 54% is 4.86, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Discounts: 46% off an item priced $9 saves $4.14, so you pay $4.86.

Adding and taking away 46%

Increasing 9 by 46% gives 13.14 and decreasing it by 46% gives 4.86. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 7.0956, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
