How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
- Multiply: 0.09 × 78 = 7.02
- Check: Work backwards: 7.02 ÷ 78 × 100 = 9%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/78, so part = 9 × 78 ÷ 100 = 7.02. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =9%*78. 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
7.02 is the 9% share of 78. The remaining 91% is 70.98, and the two parts add back up to 78.

Adding and taking away 9%
Increasing 78 by 9% gives 85.02 and decreasing it by 9% gives 70.98. These do not cancel out: raising 78 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 77.3682, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
