How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 84 = 68.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 68.88 ÷ 84 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/84, so part = 82 × 84 ÷ 100 = 68.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*84. 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

68.88 is the 82% share of 84. The remaining 18% is 15.12, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $84 saves $68.88, so you pay $15.12.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 84 by 82% gives 152.88 and decreasing it by 82% gives 15.12. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 27.5184, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
