How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 82 = 39.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 39.36 ÷ 82 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/82, so part = 48 × 82 ÷ 100 = 39.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*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

39.36 is the 48% share of 82. The remaining 52% is 42.64, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $82 saves $39.36, so you pay $42.64.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 82 by 48% gives 121.36 and decreasing it by 48% gives 42.64. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 63.1072, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
