How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 66 ÷ 100 = 0.66
- Multiply: 0.66 × 85 = 56.1
- Check: Work backwards: 56.1 ÷ 85 × 100 = 66%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/100 = part/85, so part = 66 × 85 ÷ 100 = 56.1. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =66%*85. 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

Adding and taking away 66%
Increasing 85 by 66% gives 141.1 and decreasing it by 66% gives 28.9. These do not cancel out: raising 85 by 66% and then lowering the result by 66% ends at 47.974, because the second 66% is taken of a bigger number.
