How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 89 = 8.01
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.01 ÷ 89 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/89, so part = 9 × 89 ÷ 100 = 8.01. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*89. 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

8.01 is the 9% share of 89. The remaining 91% is 80.99, and the two parts add back up to 89.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $89 saves $8.01, so you pay $80.99.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 89 by 9% gives 97.01 and decreasing it by 9% gives 80.99. These do not cancel out: raising 89 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 88.2791, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
