How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 73 = 6.57
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.57 ÷ 73 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/73, so part = 9 × 73 ÷ 100 = 6.57. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*73. 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

6.57 is the 9% share of 73. The remaining 91% is 66.43, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $73 saves $6.57, so you pay $66.43.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 73 by 9% gives 79.57 and decreasing it by 9% gives 66.43. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 72.4087, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
