How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 58 = 5.22
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.22 ÷ 58 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/58, so part = 9 × 58 ÷ 100 = 5.22. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*58. 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

5.22 is the 9% share of 58. The remaining 91% is 52.78, and the two parts add back up to 58.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $58 saves $5.22, so you pay $52.78.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 58 by 9% gives 63.22 and decreasing it by 9% gives 52.78. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 57.5302, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
