How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 66 = 5.94
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.94 ÷ 66 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/66, so part = 9 × 66 ÷ 100 = 5.94. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*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

5.94 is the 9% share of 66. The remaining 91% is 60.06, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $66 saves $5.94, so you pay $60.06.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 66 by 9% gives 71.94 and decreasing it by 9% gives 60.06. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 65.4654, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
