How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
  2. Multiply: 0.75 × 66 = 49.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 49.5 ÷ 66 × 100 = 75%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/100 = part/66, so part = 75 × 66 ÷ 100 = 49.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75%*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

49.5 is the 75% share of 66. The remaining 25% is 16.5, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 75% off an item priced $66 saves $49.5, so you pay $16.5.

Adding and taking away 75%

Increasing 66 by 75% gives 115.5 and decreasing it by 75% gives 16.5. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 75% and then lowering the result by 75% ends at 28.875, because the second 75% is taken of a bigger number.
