How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 66 ÷ 100 = 0.66
  2. Multiply: 0.66 × 12 = 7.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.92 ÷ 12 × 100 = 66%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/100 = part/12, so part = 66 × 12 ÷ 100 = 7.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =66%*12. 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

7.92 is the 66% share of 12. The remaining 34% is 4.08, and the two parts add back up to 12.

Discounts: 66% off an item priced $12 saves $7.92, so you pay $4.08.

Adding and taking away 66%

Increasing 12 by 66% gives 19.92 and decreasing it by 66% gives 4.08. These do not cancel out: raising 12 by 66% and then lowering the result by 66% ends at 6.7728, because the second 66% is taken of a bigger number.
