How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 36 = 3.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.24 ÷ 36 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/36, so part = 9 × 36 ÷ 100 = 3.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*36. 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

3.24 is the 9% share of 36. The remaining 91% is 32.76, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $36 saves $3.24, so you pay $32.76.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 36 by 9% gives 39.24 and decreasing it by 9% gives 32.76. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 35.7084, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
