How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
  2. Multiply: 0.33 × 27 = 8.91
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.91 ÷ 27 × 100 = 33%.

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

In a spreadsheet: =33%*27. 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 33% share of 27. The remaining 67% is 18.09, and the two parts add back up to 27.

Discounts: 33% off an item priced $27 saves $8.91, so you pay $18.09.

Adding and taking away 33%

Increasing 27 by 33% gives 35.91 and decreasing it by 33% gives 18.09. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 24.0597, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
