How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
  2. Multiply: 0.06 × 66 = 3.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.96 ÷ 66 × 100 = 6%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/66, so part = 6 × 66 ÷ 100 = 3.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6%*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

3.96 is the 6% share of 66. The remaining 94% is 62.04, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 6% off an item priced $66 saves $3.96, so you pay $62.04.

Adding and taking away 6%

Increasing 66 by 6% gives 69.96 and decreasing it by 6% gives 62.04. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 65.7624, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
