How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 66 ÷ 100 = 0.66
  2. Multiply: 0.66 × 16 = 10.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.56 ÷ 16 × 100 = 66%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/100 = part/16, so part = 66 × 16 ÷ 100 = 10.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =66%*16. 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

10.56 is the 66% share of 16. The remaining 34% is 5.44, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 66% off an item priced $16 saves $10.56, so you pay $5.44.

Adding and taking away 66%

Increasing 16 by 66% gives 26.56 and decreasing it by 66% gives 5.44. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 66% and then lowering the result by 66% ends at 9.0304, because the second 66% is taken of a bigger number.
