How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
- Multiply: 0.25 × 82 = 20.5
- Check: Work backwards: 20.5 ÷ 82 × 100 = 25%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/82, so part = 25 × 82 ÷ 100 = 20.5. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =25%*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
20.5 is the 25% share of 82. The remaining 75% is 61.5, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Adding and taking away 25%
Increasing 82 by 25% gives 102.5 and decreasing it by 25% gives 61.5. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 76.875, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
