How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
- Multiply: 0.09 × 53 = 4.77
- Check: Work backwards: 4.77 ÷ 53 × 100 = 9%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/53, so part = 9 × 53 ÷ 100 = 4.77. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =9%*53. 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
4.77 is the 9% share of 53. The remaining 91% is 48.23, and the two parts add back up to 53.

Adding and taking away 9%
Increasing 53 by 9% gives 57.77 and decreasing it by 9% gives 48.23. These do not cancel out: raising 53 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 52.5707, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
