How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49
  2. Multiply: 0.49 × 33 = 16.17
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.17 ÷ 33 × 100 = 49%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 49/100 = part/33, so part = 49 × 33 ÷ 100 = 16.17. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =49%*33. 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

16.17 is the 49% share of 33. The remaining 51% is 16.83, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 49% off an item priced $33 saves $16.17, so you pay $16.83.

Adding and taking away 49%

Increasing 33 by 49% gives 49.17 and decreasing it by 49% gives 16.83. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 49% and then lowering the result by 49% ends at 25.0767, because the second 49% is taken of a bigger number.
