How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 9 = 6.39
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.39 ÷ 9 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/9, so part = 71 × 9 ÷ 100 = 6.39. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*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

6.39 is the 71% share of 9. The remaining 29% is 2.61, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $9 saves $6.39, so you pay $2.61.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 9 by 71% gives 15.39 and decreasing it by 71% gives 2.61. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 4.4631, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
