How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 15 ÷ 100 = 0.15
  2. Multiply: 0.15 × 66 = 9.9
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.9 ÷ 66 × 100 = 15%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/100 = part/66, so part = 15 × 66 ÷ 100 = 9.9. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15%*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

9.9 is the 15% share of 66. The remaining 85% is 56.1, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 15% off an item priced $66 saves $9.9, so you pay $56.1.

Adding and taking away 15%

Increasing 66 by 15% gives 75.9 and decreasing it by 15% gives 56.1. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 15% and then lowering the result by 15% ends at 64.515, because the second 15% is taken of a bigger number.
