How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
- Multiply: 0.82 × 15 = 12.3
- Check: Work backwards: 12.3 ÷ 15 × 100 = 82%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/15, so part = 82 × 15 ÷ 100 = 12.3. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =82%*15. 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
12.3 is the 82% share of 15. The remaining 18% is 2.7, and the two parts add back up to 15.
Discounts: 82% off an item priced $15 saves $12.3, so you pay $2.7.
Adding and taking away 82%
Increasing 15 by 82% gives 27.3 and decreasing it by 82% gives 2.7. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 4.914, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
