How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 15 ÷ 100 = 0.15
  2. Multiply: 0.15 × 33 = 4.95
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.95 ÷ 33 × 100 = 15%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/100 = part/33, so part = 15 × 33 ÷ 100 = 4.95. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15%*33. 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

4.95 is the 15% share of 33. The remaining 85% is 28.05, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 15% off an item priced $33 saves $4.95, so you pay $28.05.

Adding and taking away 15%

Increasing 33 by 15% gives 37.95 and decreasing it by 15% gives 28.05. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 15% and then lowering the result by 15% ends at 32.2575, because the second 15% is taken of a bigger number.
