How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 50 ÷ 100 = 0.5
- Multiply: 0.5 × 82 = 41
- Check: Work backwards: 41 ÷ 82 × 100 = 50%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/100 = part/82, so part = 50 × 82 ÷ 100 = 41. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =50%*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
41 is the 50% share of 82. The remaining 50% is 41, and the two parts add back up to 82.
Discounts: 50% off an item priced $82 saves $41, so you pay $41.
Adding and taking away 50%
Increasing 82 by 50% gives 123 and decreasing it by 50% gives 41. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 50% and then lowering the result by 50% ends at 61.5, because the second 50% is taken of a bigger number.
