How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 66 = 31.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.68 ÷ 66 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/66, so part = 48 × 66 ÷ 100 = 31.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*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

31.68 is the 48% share of 66. The remaining 52% is 34.32, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $66 saves $31.68, so you pay $34.32.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 66 by 48% gives 97.68 and decreasing it by 48% gives 34.32. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 50.7936, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
