How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 46 = 37.72
  3. Check: Work backwards: 37.72 ÷ 46 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/46, so part = 82 × 46 ÷ 100 = 37.72. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*46. 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

37.72 is the 82% share of 46. The remaining 18% is 8.28, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $46 saves $37.72, so you pay $8.28.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 46 by 82% gives 83.72 and decreasing it by 82% gives 8.28. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 15.0696, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
