How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
- Multiply: 0.82 × 85 = 69.7
- Check: Work backwards: 69.7 ÷ 85 × 100 = 82%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/85, so part = 82 × 85 ÷ 100 = 69.7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =82%*85. 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
69.7 is the 82% share of 85. The remaining 18% is 15.3, and the two parts add back up to 85.

Adding and taking away 82%
Increasing 85 by 82% gives 154.7 and decreasing it by 82% gives 15.3. These do not cancel out: raising 85 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 27.846, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
