How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 36 = 29.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.52 ÷ 36 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/36, so part = 82 × 36 ÷ 100 = 29.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*36. 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

29.52 is the 82% share of 36. The remaining 18% is 6.48, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $36 saves $29.52, so you pay $6.48.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 36 by 82% gives 65.52 and decreasing it by 82% gives 6.48. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 11.7936, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
