How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 12 ÷ 100 = 0.12
  2. Multiply: 0.12 × 82 = 9.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.84 ÷ 82 × 100 = 12%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/100 = part/82, so part = 12 × 82 ÷ 100 = 9.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =12%*82. 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

9.84 is the 12% share of 82. The remaining 88% is 72.16, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 12% off an item priced $82 saves $9.84, so you pay $72.16.

Adding and taking away 12%

Increasing 82 by 12% gives 91.84 and decreasing it by 12% gives 72.16. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 12% and then lowering the result by 12% ends at 80.8192, because the second 12% is taken of a bigger number.
