How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 68 ÷ 100 = 0.68
- Multiply: 0.68 × 82 = 55.76
- Check: Work backwards: 55.76 ÷ 82 × 100 = 68%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/100 = part/82, so part = 68 × 82 ÷ 100 = 55.76. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =68%*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.
