How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 20 ÷ 100 = 0.2
- Multiply: 0.2 × 82 = 16.4
- Check: Work backwards: 16.4 ÷ 82 × 100 = 20%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/100 = part/82, so part = 20 × 82 ÷ 100 = 16.4. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =20%*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
16.4 is the 20% share of 82. The remaining 80% is 65.6, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Adding and taking away 20%
Increasing 82 by 20% gives 98.4 and decreasing it by 20% gives 65.6. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 20% and then lowering the result by 20% ends at 78.72, because the second 20% is taken of a bigger number.
