How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 40 ÷ 100 = 0.4
  2. Multiply: 0.4 × 66 = 26.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.4 ÷ 66 × 100 = 40%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/100 = part/66, so part = 40 × 66 ÷ 100 = 26.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40%*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

26.4 is the 40% share of 66. The remaining 60% is 39.6, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 40% off an item priced $66 saves $26.4, so you pay $39.6.

Adding and taking away 40%

Increasing 66 by 40% gives 92.4 and decreasing it by 40% gives 39.6. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 40% and then lowering the result by 40% ends at 55.44, because the second 40% is taken of a bigger number.
