How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 92 ÷ 100 = 0.92
  2. Multiply: 0.92 × 9 = 8.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.28 ÷ 9 × 100 = 92%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 92/100 = part/9, so part = 92 × 9 ÷ 100 = 8.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =92%*9. 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

8.28 is the 92% share of 9. The remaining 8% is 0.72, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Discounts: 92% off an item priced $9 saves $8.28, so you pay $0.72.

Adding and taking away 92%

Increasing 9 by 92% gives 17.28 and decreasing it by 92% gives 0.72. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 92% and then lowering the result by 92% ends at 1.3824, because the second 92% is taken of a bigger number.
