How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 65 ÷ 100 = 0.65
  2. Multiply: 0.65 × 9 = 5.85
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.85 ÷ 9 × 100 = 65%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 65/100 = part/9, so part = 65 × 9 ÷ 100 = 5.85. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =65%*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

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

Discounts: 65% off an item priced $9 saves $5.85, so you pay $3.15.

Adding and taking away 65%

Increasing 9 by 65% gives 14.85 and decreasing it by 65% gives 3.15. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 65% and then lowering the result by 65% ends at 5.1975, because the second 65% is taken of a bigger number.
