How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
  2. Multiply: 0.33 × 49 = 16.17
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.17 ÷ 49 × 100 = 33%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/100 = part/49, so part = 33 × 49 ÷ 100 = 16.17. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33%*49. 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

16.17 is the 33% share of 49. The remaining 67% is 32.83, and the two parts add back up to 49.

Discounts: 33% off an item priced $49 saves $16.17, so you pay $32.83.

Adding and taking away 33%

Increasing 49 by 33% gives 65.17 and decreasing it by 33% gives 32.83. These do not cancel out: raising 49 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 43.6639, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
