How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 75 = 61.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 61.5 ÷ 75 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/75, so part = 82 × 75 ÷ 100 = 61.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*75. 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

61.5 is the 82% share of 75. The remaining 18% is 13.5, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $75 saves $61.5, so you pay $13.5.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 75 by 82% gives 136.5 and decreasing it by 82% gives 13.5. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 24.57, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
