How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 59 ÷ 100 = 0.59
- Multiply: 0.59 × 9 = 5.31
- Check: Work backwards: 5.31 ÷ 9 × 100 = 59%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/100 = part/9, so part = 59 × 9 ÷ 100 = 5.31. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =59%*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
5.31 is the 59% share of 9. The remaining 41% is 3.69, and the two parts add back up to 9.
Discounts: 59% off an item priced $9 saves $5.31, so you pay $3.69.
Adding and taking away 59%
Increasing 9 by 59% gives 14.31 and decreasing it by 59% gives 3.69. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 59% and then lowering the result by 59% ends at 5.8671, because the second 59% is taken of a bigger number.
