How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 40 = 32.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 32.8 ÷ 40 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/40, so part = 82 × 40 ÷ 100 = 32.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*40. 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

32.8 is the 82% share of 40. The remaining 18% is 7.2, and the two parts add back up to 40.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $40 saves $32.8, so you pay $7.2.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 40 by 82% gives 72.8 and decreasing it by 82% gives 7.2. These do not cancel out: raising 40 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 13.104, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
