How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 66 = 64.02
  3. Check: Work backwards: 64.02 ÷ 66 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/66, so part = 97 × 66 ÷ 100 = 64.02. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

64.02 is the 97% share of 66. The remaining 3% is 1.98, and the two parts add back up to 66.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $66 saves $64.02, so you pay $1.98.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 66 by 97% gives 130.02 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.98. These do not cancel out: raising 66 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 3.9006, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
