How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
  2. Multiply: 0.58 × 82 = 47.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 47.56 ÷ 82 × 100 = 58%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/82, so part = 58 × 82 ÷ 100 = 47.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =58%*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

47.56 is the 58% share of 82. The remaining 42% is 34.44, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 58% off an item priced $82 saves $47.56, so you pay $34.44.

Adding and taking away 58%

Increasing 82 by 58% gives 129.56 and decreasing it by 58% gives 34.44. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 54.4152, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
