How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
  2. Multiply: 0.7 × 82 = 57.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 57.4 ÷ 82 × 100 = 70%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/100 = part/82, so part = 70 × 82 ÷ 100 = 57.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70%*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

57.4 is the 70% share of 82. The remaining 30% is 24.6, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 70% off an item priced $82 saves $57.4, so you pay $24.6.

Adding and taking away 70%

Increasing 82 by 70% gives 139.4 and decreasing it by 70% gives 24.6. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 41.82, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
