How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 66 = 17.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.16 ÷ 66 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/66, so part = 26 × 66 ÷ 100 = 17.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*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

17.16 is the 26% share of 66. The remaining 74% is 48.84, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $66 saves $17.16, so you pay $48.84.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 66 by 26% gives 83.16 and decreasing it by 26% gives 48.84. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 61.5384, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
