How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
  2. Multiply: 0.51 × 33 = 16.83
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.83 ÷ 33 × 100 = 51%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/33, so part = 51 × 33 ÷ 100 = 16.83. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51%*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

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

Discounts: 51% off an item priced $33 saves $16.83, so you pay $16.17.

Adding and taking away 51%

Increasing 33 by 51% gives 49.83 and decreasing it by 51% gives 16.17. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 24.4167, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
