How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 82 = 42.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.64 ÷ 82 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/82, so part = 52 × 82 ÷ 100 = 42.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*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

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

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $82 saves $42.64, so you pay $39.36.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 82 by 52% gives 124.64 and decreasing it by 52% gives 39.36. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 59.8272, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
