How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 66 ÷ 100 = 0.66
- Multiply: 0.66 × 40 = 26.4
- Check: Work backwards: 26.4 ÷ 40 × 100 = 66%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/100 = part/40, so part = 66 × 40 ÷ 100 = 26.4. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =66%*40. 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
26.4 is the 66% share of 40. The remaining 34% is 13.6, and the two parts add back up to 40.

Adding and taking away 66%
Increasing 40 by 66% gives 66.4 and decreasing it by 66% gives 13.6. These do not cancel out: raising 40 by 66% and then lowering the result by 66% ends at 22.576, because the second 66% is taken of a bigger number.
