How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 73 = 59.86
  3. Check: Work backwards: 59.86 ÷ 73 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/73, so part = 82 × 73 ÷ 100 = 59.86. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*73. 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

59.86 is the 82% share of 73. The remaining 18% is 13.14, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $73 saves $59.86, so you pay $13.14.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 73 by 82% gives 132.86 and decreasing it by 82% gives 13.14. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 23.9148, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
