How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 42 ÷ 100 = 0.42
- Multiply: 0.42 × 82 = 34.44
- Check: Work backwards: 34.44 ÷ 82 × 100 = 42%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/100 = part/82, so part = 42 × 82 ÷ 100 = 34.44. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =42%*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.

Adding and taking away 42%
Increasing 82 by 42% gives 116.44 and decreasing it by 42% gives 47.56. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 42% and then lowering the result by 42% ends at 67.5352, because the second 42% is taken of a bigger number.
