How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 74 = 60.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 60.68 ÷ 74 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/74, so part = 82 × 74 ÷ 100 = 60.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*74. 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

60.68 is the 82% share of 74. The remaining 18% is 13.32, and the two parts add back up to 74.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $74 saves $60.68, so you pay $13.32.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 74 by 82% gives 134.68 and decreasing it by 82% gives 13.32. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 24.2424, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
