How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 74 ÷ 100 = 0.74
  2. Multiply: 0.74 × 9 = 6.66
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.66 ÷ 9 × 100 = 74%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/100 = part/9, so part = 74 × 9 ÷ 100 = 6.66. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =74%*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

6.66 is the 74% share of 9. The remaining 26% is 2.34, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Discounts: 74% off an item priced $9 saves $6.66, so you pay $2.34.

Adding and taking away 74%

Increasing 9 by 74% gives 15.66 and decreasing it by 74% gives 2.34. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 74% and then lowering the result by 74% ends at 4.0716, because the second 74% is taken of a bigger number.
