How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 90 = 73.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 73.8 ÷ 90 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/90, so part = 82 × 90 ÷ 100 = 73.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*90. 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

73.8 is the 82% share of 90. The remaining 18% is 16.2, and the two parts add back up to 90.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $90 saves $73.8, so you pay $16.2.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 90 by 82% gives 163.8 and decreasing it by 82% gives 16.2. These do not cancel out: raising 90 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 29.484, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
