How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 75 = 6.75
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.75 ÷ 75 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/75, so part = 9 × 75 ÷ 100 = 6.75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*75. 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

6.75 is the 9% share of 75. The remaining 91% is 68.25, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $75 saves $6.75, so you pay $68.25.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 75 by 9% gives 81.75 and decreasing it by 9% gives 68.25. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 74.3925, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
