How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
  2. Multiply: 0.17 × 66 = 11.22
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.22 ÷ 66 × 100 = 17%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/66, so part = 17 × 66 ÷ 100 = 11.22. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17%*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

11.22 is the 17% share of 66. The remaining 83% is 54.78, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 17% off an item priced $66 saves $11.22, so you pay $54.78.

Adding and taking away 17%

Increasing 66 by 17% gives 77.22 and decreasing it by 17% gives 54.78. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 64.0926, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
