How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 71 = 6.39
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.39 ÷ 71 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/71, so part = 9 × 71 ÷ 100 = 6.39. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*71. 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

6.39 is the 9% share of 71. The remaining 91% is 64.61, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $71 saves $6.39, so you pay $64.61.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 71 by 9% gives 77.39 and decreasing it by 9% gives 64.61. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 70.4249, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
