How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 9 = 8.82
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.82 ÷ 9 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/9, so part = 98 × 9 ÷ 100 = 8.82. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*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

8.82 is the 98% share of 9. The remaining 2% is 0.18, and the two parts add back up to 9.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $9 saves $8.82, so you pay $0.18.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 9 by 98% gives 17.82 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.18. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 0.3564, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
