How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 66 = 10.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.56 ÷ 66 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/66, so part = 16 × 66 ÷ 100 = 10.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*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

10.56 is the 16% share of 66. The remaining 84% is 55.44, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $66 saves $10.56, so you pay $55.44.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 66 by 16% gives 76.56 and decreasing it by 16% gives 55.44. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 64.3104, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
