How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 9 = 6.57
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.57 ÷ 9 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/9, so part = 73 × 9 ÷ 100 = 6.57. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*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

6.57 is the 73% share of 9. The remaining 27% is 2.43, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $9 saves $6.57, so you pay $2.43.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 9 by 73% gives 15.57 and decreasing it by 73% gives 2.43. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 4.2039, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
