How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
- Multiply: 0.09 × 81 = 7.29
- Check: Work backwards: 7.29 ÷ 81 × 100 = 9%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/81, so part = 9 × 81 ÷ 100 = 7.29. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =9%*81. 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
7.29 is the 9% share of 81. The remaining 91% is 73.71, and the two parts add back up to 81.

Adding and taking away 9%
Increasing 81 by 9% gives 88.29 and decreasing it by 9% gives 73.71. These do not cancel out: raising 81 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 80.3439, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
