How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 82 = 19.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 19.68 ÷ 82 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/82, so part = 24 × 82 ÷ 100 = 19.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*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

19.68 is the 24% share of 82. The remaining 76% is 62.32, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $82 saves $19.68, so you pay $62.32.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 82 by 24% gives 101.68 and decreasing it by 24% gives 62.32. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 77.2768, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
