How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 84 = 7.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.56 ÷ 84 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/84, so part = 9 × 84 ÷ 100 = 7.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*84. 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

7.56 is the 9% share of 84. The remaining 91% is 76.44, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $84 saves $7.56, so you pay $76.44.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 84 by 9% gives 91.56 and decreasing it by 9% gives 76.44. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 83.3196, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
