How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 9 = 4.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.32 ÷ 9 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/9, so part = 48 × 9 ÷ 100 = 4.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*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

4.32 is the 48% share of 9. The remaining 52% is 4.68, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $9 saves $4.32, so you pay $4.68.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 9 by 48% gives 13.32 and decreasing it by 48% gives 4.68. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 6.9264, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
