How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
- Multiply: 0.82 × 72 = 59.04
- Check: Work backwards: 59.04 ÷ 72 × 100 = 82%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/72, so part = 82 × 72 ÷ 100 = 59.04. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =82%*72. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
