How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 66 ÷ 100 = 0.66
  2. Multiply: 0.66 × 15 = 9.9
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.9 ÷ 15 × 100 = 66%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/100 = part/15, so part = 66 × 15 ÷ 100 = 9.9. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =66%*15. 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

9.9 is the 66% share of 15. The remaining 34% is 5.1, and the two parts add back up to 15.

Discounts: 66% off an item priced $15 saves $9.9, so you pay $5.1.

Adding and taking away 66%

Increasing 15 by 66% gives 24.9 and decreasing it by 66% gives 5.1. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 66% and then lowering the result by 66% ends at 8.466, because the second 66% is taken of a bigger number.
