How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
  2. Multiply: 0.06 × 33 = 1.98
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.98 ÷ 33 × 100 = 6%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/33, so part = 6 × 33 ÷ 100 = 1.98. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6%*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

1.98 is the 6% share of 33. The remaining 94% is 31.02, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 6% off an item priced $33 saves $1.98, so you pay $31.02.

Adding and taking away 6%

Increasing 33 by 6% gives 34.98 and decreasing it by 6% gives 31.02. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 32.8812, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
