How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 72 ÷ 100 = 0.72
  2. Multiply: 0.72 × 66 = 47.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 47.52 ÷ 66 × 100 = 72%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 72/100 = part/66, so part = 72 × 66 ÷ 100 = 47.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =72%*66. 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

47.52 is the 72% share of 66. The remaining 28% is 18.48, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 72% off an item priced $66 saves $47.52, so you pay $18.48.

Adding and taking away 72%

Increasing 66 by 72% gives 113.52 and decreasing it by 72% gives 18.48. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 72% and then lowering the result by 72% ends at 31.7856, because the second 72% is taken of a bigger number.
