How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
  2. Multiply: 0.33 × 7 = 2.31
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.31 ÷ 7 × 100 = 33%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/100 = part/7, so part = 33 × 7 ÷ 100 = 2.31. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33%*7. 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

2.31 is the 33% share of 7. The remaining 67% is 4.69, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 33% off an item priced $7 saves $2.31, so you pay $4.69.

Adding and taking away 33%

Increasing 7 by 33% gives 9.31 and decreasing it by 33% gives 4.69. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 6.2377, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
