How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
  2. Multiply: 0.9 × 66 = 59.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 59.4 ÷ 66 × 100 = 90%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/66, so part = 90 × 66 ÷ 100 = 59.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =90%*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

59.4 is the 90% share of 66. The remaining 10% is 6.6, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 90% off an item priced $66 saves $59.4, so you pay $6.6.

Adding and taking away 90%

Increasing 66 by 90% gives 125.4 and decreasing it by 90% gives 6.6. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 12.54, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
