How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 82 = 13.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.12 ÷ 82 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/82, so part = 16 × 82 ÷ 100 = 13.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*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

13.12 is the 16% share of 82. The remaining 84% is 68.88, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $82 saves $13.12, so you pay $68.88.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 82 by 16% gives 95.12 and decreasing it by 16% gives 68.88. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 79.9008, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
