How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 68 = 6.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.12 ÷ 68 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/68, so part = 9 × 68 ÷ 100 = 6.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*68. 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

6.12 is the 9% share of 68. The remaining 91% is 61.88, and the two parts add back up to 68.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $68 saves $6.12, so you pay $61.88.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 68 by 9% gives 74.12 and decreasing it by 9% gives 61.88. These do not cancel out: raising 68 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 67.4492, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
