How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 82 = 58.22
  3. Check: Work backwards: 58.22 ÷ 82 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/82, so part = 71 × 82 ÷ 100 = 58.22. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*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

58.22 is the 71% share of 82. The remaining 29% is 23.78, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $82 saves $58.22, so you pay $23.78.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 82 by 71% gives 140.22 and decreasing it by 71% gives 23.78. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 40.6638, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
