How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
  2. Multiply: 0.17 × 82 = 13.94
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.94 ÷ 82 × 100 = 17%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/82, so part = 17 × 82 ÷ 100 = 13.94. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17%*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

13.94 is the 17% share of 82. The remaining 83% is 68.06, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 17% off an item priced $82 saves $13.94, so you pay $68.06.

Adding and taking away 17%

Increasing 82 by 17% gives 95.94 and decreasing it by 17% gives 68.06. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 79.6302, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
