How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
  2. Multiply: 0.06 × 82 = 4.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.92 ÷ 82 × 100 = 6%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/82, so part = 6 × 82 ÷ 100 = 4.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6%*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

4.92 is the 6% share of 82. The remaining 94% is 77.08, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 6% off an item priced $82 saves $4.92, so you pay $77.08.

Adding and taking away 6%

Increasing 82 by 6% gives 86.92 and decreasing it by 6% gives 77.08. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 81.7048, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
