How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
- Multiply: 0.82 × 100 = 82
- Check: Work backwards: 82 ÷ 100 × 100 = 82%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/100, so part = 82 × 100 ÷ 100 = 82. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =82%*100. 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
82 is the 82% share of 100. The remaining 18% is 18, and the two parts add back up to 100.
Discounts: 82% off an item priced $100 saves $82, so you pay $18.
Adding and taking away 82%
Increasing 100 by 82% gives 182 and decreasing it by 82% gives 18. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 32.76, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
