How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
- Multiply: 0.82 × 6 = 4.92
- Check: Work backwards: 4.92 ÷ 6 × 100 = 82%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/6, so part = 82 × 6 ÷ 100 = 4.92. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =82%*6. 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
4.92 is the 82% share of 6. The remaining 18% is 1.08, and the two parts add back up to 6.
Discounts: 82% off an item priced $6 saves $4.92, so you pay $1.08.
Adding and taking away 82%
Increasing 6 by 82% gives 10.92 and decreasing it by 82% gives 1.08. These do not cancel out: raising 6 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 1.9656, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
