How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 66 ÷ 100 = 0.66
  2. Multiply: 0.66 × 75 = 49.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 49.5 ÷ 75 × 100 = 66%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/100 = part/75, so part = 66 × 75 ÷ 100 = 49.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =66%*75. 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

49.5 is the 66% share of 75. The remaining 34% is 25.5, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 66% off an item priced $75 saves $49.5, so you pay $25.5.

Adding and taking away 66%

Increasing 75 by 66% gives 124.5 and decreasing it by 66% gives 25.5. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 66% and then lowering the result by 66% ends at 42.33, because the second 66% is taken of a bigger number.
