How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3
  2. Multiply: 0.3 × 66 = 19.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 19.8 ÷ 66 × 100 = 30%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 30/100 = part/66, so part = 30 × 66 ÷ 100 = 19.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =30%*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

19.8 is the 30% share of 66. The remaining 70% is 46.2, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 30% off an item priced $66 saves $19.8, so you pay $46.2.

Adding and taking away 30%

Increasing 66 by 30% gives 85.8 and decreasing it by 30% gives 46.2. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 30% and then lowering the result by 30% ends at 60.06, because the second 30% is taken of a bigger number.
