How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
- Multiply: 0.09 × 54 = 4.86
- Check: Work backwards: 4.86 ÷ 54 × 100 = 9%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/54, so part = 9 × 54 ÷ 100 = 4.86. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =9%*54. 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

Adding and taking away 9%
Increasing 54 by 9% gives 58.86 and decreasing it by 9% gives 49.14. These do not cancel out: raising 54 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 53.5626, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
