How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 87 ÷ 100 = 0.87
  2. Multiply: 0.87 × 66 = 57.42
  3. Check: Work backwards: 57.42 ÷ 66 × 100 = 87%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/100 = part/66, so part = 87 × 66 ÷ 100 = 57.42. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =87%*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

57.42 is the 87% share of 66. The remaining 13% is 8.58, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 87% off an item priced $66 saves $57.42, so you pay $8.58.

Adding and taking away 87%

Increasing 66 by 87% gives 123.42 and decreasing it by 87% gives 8.58. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 87% and then lowering the result by 87% ends at 16.0446, because the second 87% is taken of a bigger number.
