How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 82 = 14.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.76 ÷ 82 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/82, so part = 18 × 82 ÷ 100 = 14.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*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

14.76 is the 18% share of 82. The remaining 82% is 67.24, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $82 saves $14.76, so you pay $67.24.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 82 by 18% gives 96.76 and decreasing it by 18% gives 67.24. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 79.3432, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
