You can put the percent number over 100 and multiply it by the number you want to decrease, like 9% decrease from 100 would be 9/100 times 100...

If you have a calculator, you can move the decimal place over to the right twice, and mulitply. So 9% would be 0.09.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
