How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 72 ÷ 100 = 0.72
  2. Multiply: 0.72 × 33 = 23.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.76 ÷ 33 × 100 = 72%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 72/100 = part/33, so part = 72 × 33 ÷ 100 = 23.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =72%*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

23.76 is the 72% share of 33. The remaining 28% is 9.24, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 72% off an item priced $33 saves $23.76, so you pay $9.24.

Adding and taking away 72%

Increasing 33 by 72% gives 56.76 and decreasing it by 72% gives 9.24. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 72% and then lowering the result by 72% ends at 15.8928, because the second 72% is taken of a bigger number.
