How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 66 ÷ 100 = 0.66
  2. Multiply: 0.66 × 48 = 31.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.68 ÷ 48 × 100 = 66%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/100 = part/48, so part = 66 × 48 ÷ 100 = 31.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =66%*48. 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

31.68 is the 66% share of 48. The remaining 34% is 16.32, and the two parts add back up to 48.

Discounts: 66% off an item priced $48 saves $31.68, so you pay $16.32.

Adding and taking away 66%

Increasing 48 by 66% gives 79.68 and decreasing it by 66% gives 16.32. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 66% and then lowering the result by 66% ends at 27.0912, because the second 66% is taken of a bigger number.
