How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
- Multiply: 0.09 × 61 = 5.49
- Check: Work backwards: 5.49 ÷ 61 × 100 = 9%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/61, so part = 9 × 61 ÷ 100 = 5.49. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =9%*61. 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
5.49 is the 9% share of 61. The remaining 91% is 55.51, and the two parts add back up to 61.

Adding and taking away 9%
Increasing 61 by 9% gives 66.49 and decreasing it by 9% gives 55.51. These do not cancel out: raising 61 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 60.5059, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
