How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83
  2. Multiply: 0.83 × 9 = 7.47
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.47 ÷ 9 × 100 = 83%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/100 = part/9, so part = 83 × 9 ÷ 100 = 7.47. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =83%*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

7.47 is the 83% share of 9. The remaining 17% is 1.53, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Discounts: 83% off an item priced $9 saves $7.47, so you pay $1.53.

Adding and taking away 83%

Increasing 9 by 83% gives 16.47 and decreasing it by 83% gives 1.53. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 83% and then lowering the result by 83% ends at 2.7999, because the second 83% is taken of a bigger number.
