How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 27 = 22.14
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.14 ÷ 27 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/27, so part = 82 × 27 ÷ 100 = 22.14. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*27. 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

22.14 is the 82% share of 27. The remaining 18% is 4.86, and the two parts add back up to 27.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $27 saves $22.14, so you pay $4.86.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 27 by 82% gives 49.14 and decreasing it by 82% gives 4.86. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 8.8452, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
