How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
  2. Multiply: 0.7 × 33 = 23.1
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.1 ÷ 33 × 100 = 70%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/100 = part/33, so part = 70 × 33 ÷ 100 = 23.1. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70%*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

23.1 is the 70% share of 33. The remaining 30% is 9.9, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 70% off an item priced $33 saves $23.1, so you pay $9.9.

Adding and taking away 70%

Increasing 33 by 70% gives 56.1 and decreasing it by 70% gives 9.9. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 16.83, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
