How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 82 = 50.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 50.84 ÷ 82 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/82, so part = 62 × 82 ÷ 100 = 50.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*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

50.84 is the 62% share of 82. The remaining 38% is 31.16, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $82 saves $50.84, so you pay $31.16.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 82 by 62% gives 132.84 and decreasing it by 62% gives 31.16. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 50.4792, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
