How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
  2. Multiply: 0.04 × 66 = 2.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.64 ÷ 66 × 100 = 4%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/66, so part = 4 × 66 ÷ 100 = 2.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4%*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

2.64 is the 4% share of 66. The remaining 96% is 63.36, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 4% off an item priced $66 saves $2.64, so you pay $63.36.

Adding and taking away 4%

Increasing 66 by 4% gives 68.64 and decreasing it by 4% gives 63.36. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 65.8944, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
