How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 28 = 22.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.96 ÷ 28 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/28, so part = 82 × 28 ÷ 100 = 22.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*28. 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

22.96 is the 82% share of 28. The remaining 18% is 5.04, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $28 saves $22.96, so you pay $5.04.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 28 by 82% gives 50.96 and decreasing it by 82% gives 5.04. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 9.1728, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
