How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 33 = 8.91
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.91 ÷ 33 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/33, so part = 27 × 33 ÷ 100 = 8.91. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*33. 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

8.91 is the 27% share of 33. The remaining 73% is 24.09, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $33 saves $8.91, so you pay $24.09.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 33 by 27% gives 41.91 and decreasing it by 27% gives 24.09. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 30.5943, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
