How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 82 = 21.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.32 ÷ 82 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/82, so part = 26 × 82 ÷ 100 = 21.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*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

21.32 is the 26% share of 82. The remaining 74% is 60.68, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $82 saves $21.32, so you pay $60.68.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 82 by 26% gives 103.32 and decreasing it by 26% gives 60.68. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 76.4568, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
