How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 12 ÷ 100 = 0.12
- Multiply: 0.12 × 66 = 7.92
- Check: Work backwards: 7.92 ÷ 66 × 100 = 12%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/100 = part/66, so part = 12 × 66 ÷ 100 = 7.92. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =12%*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

Adding and taking away 12%
Increasing 66 by 12% gives 73.92 and decreasing it by 12% gives 58.08. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 12% and then lowering the result by 12% ends at 65.0496, because the second 12% is taken of a bigger number.
