How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 33 = 2.97
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.97 ÷ 33 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/33, so part = 9 × 33 ÷ 100 = 2.97. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*33. 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

2.97 is the 9% share of 33. The remaining 91% is 30.03, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $33 saves $2.97, so you pay $30.03.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 33 by 9% gives 35.97 and decreasing it by 9% gives 30.03. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 32.7327, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
