How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 82 = 27.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.88 ÷ 82 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/82, so part = 34 × 82 ÷ 100 = 27.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*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

27.88 is the 34% share of 82. The remaining 66% is 54.12, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $82 saves $27.88, so you pay $54.12.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 82 by 34% gives 109.88 and decreasing it by 34% gives 54.12. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 72.5208, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
