How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
- Multiply: 0.82 × 5 = 4.1
- Check: Work backwards: 4.1 ÷ 5 × 100 = 82%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/5, so part = 82 × 5 ÷ 100 = 4.1. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =82%*5. 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
4.1 is the 82% share of 5. The remaining 18% is 0.9, and the two parts add back up to 5.
Discounts: 82% off an item priced $5 saves $4.1, so you pay $0.9.
Adding and taking away 82%
Increasing 5 by 82% gives 9.1 and decreasing it by 82% gives 0.9. These do not cancel out: raising 5 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 1.638, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
