How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 9 = 8.73
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.73 ÷ 9 × 100 = 97%.

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

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

8.73 is the 97% share of 9. The remaining 3% is 0.27, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $9 saves $8.73, so you pay $0.27.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 9 by 97% gives 17.73 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.27. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 0.5319, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
