How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
  2. Multiply: 0.1 × 66 = 6.6
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.6 ÷ 66 × 100 = 10%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/100 = part/66, so part = 10 × 66 ÷ 100 = 6.6. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10%*66. 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

6.6 is the 10% share of 66. The remaining 90% is 59.4, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 10% off an item priced $66 saves $6.6, so you pay $59.4.

Adding and taking away 10%

Increasing 66 by 10% gives 72.6 and decreasing it by 10% gives 59.4. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 10% and then lowering the result by 10% ends at 65.34, because the second 10% is taken of a bigger number.
