How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
  2. Multiply: 0.33 × 36 = 11.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.88 ÷ 36 × 100 = 33%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/100 = part/36, so part = 33 × 36 ÷ 100 = 11.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33%*36. 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

11.88 is the 33% share of 36. The remaining 67% is 24.12, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 33% off an item priced $36 saves $11.88, so you pay $24.12.

Adding and taking away 33%

Increasing 36 by 33% gives 47.88 and decreasing it by 33% gives 24.12. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 32.0796, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
