How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 52 = 42.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.64 ÷ 52 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/52, so part = 82 × 52 ÷ 100 = 42.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*52. 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

42.64 is the 82% share of 52. The remaining 18% is 9.36, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $52 saves $42.64, so you pay $9.36.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 52 by 82% gives 94.64 and decreasing it by 82% gives 9.36. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 17.0352, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
