How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 66 = 58.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 58.08 ÷ 66 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/66, so part = 88 × 66 ÷ 100 = 58.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*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

58.08 is the 88% share of 66. The remaining 12% is 7.92, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $66 saves $58.08, so you pay $7.92.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 66 by 88% gives 124.08 and decreasing it by 88% gives 7.92. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 14.8896, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
