How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 66 = 15.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.84 ÷ 66 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/66, so part = 24 × 66 ÷ 100 = 15.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*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

15.84 is the 24% share of 66. The remaining 76% is 50.16, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $66 saves $15.84, so you pay $50.16.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 66 by 24% gives 81.84 and decreasing it by 24% gives 50.16. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 62.1984, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
