How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
  2. Multiply: 0.08 × 82 = 6.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.56 ÷ 82 × 100 = 8%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/82, so part = 8 × 82 ÷ 100 = 6.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8%*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

6.56 is the 8% share of 82. The remaining 92% is 75.44, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 8% off an item priced $82 saves $6.56, so you pay $75.44.

Adding and taking away 8%

Increasing 82 by 8% gives 88.56 and decreasing it by 8% gives 75.44. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 81.4752, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
