How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 33 = 2.31
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.31 ÷ 33 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/33, so part = 7 × 33 ÷ 100 = 2.31. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*33. 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

2.31 is the 7% share of 33. The remaining 93% is 30.69, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $33 saves $2.31, so you pay $30.69.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 33 by 7% gives 35.31 and decreasing it by 7% gives 30.69. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 32.8383, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
