How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
  2. Multiply: 0.47 × 66 = 31.02
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.02 ÷ 66 × 100 = 47%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/66, so part = 47 × 66 ÷ 100 = 31.02. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47%*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

31.02 is the 47% share of 66. The remaining 53% is 34.98, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 47% off an item priced $66 saves $31.02, so you pay $34.98.

Adding and taking away 47%

Increasing 66 by 47% gives 97.02 and decreasing it by 47% gives 34.98. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 51.4206, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
