How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 97 = 8.73
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.73 ÷ 97 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/97, so part = 9 × 97 ÷ 100 = 8.73. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*97. 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

8.73 is the 9% share of 97. The remaining 91% is 88.27, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $97 saves $8.73, so you pay $88.27.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 97 by 9% gives 105.73 and decreasing it by 9% gives 88.27. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 96.2143, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
