How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83
  2. Multiply: 0.83 × 10 = 8.3
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.3 ÷ 10 × 100 = 83%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/100 = part/10, so part = 83 × 10 ÷ 100 = 8.3. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =83%*10. 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

8.3 is the 83% share of 10. The remaining 17% is 1.7, and the two parts add back up to 10.

Discounts: 83% off an item priced $10 saves $8.3, so you pay $1.7.

Adding and taking away 83%

Increasing 10 by 83% gives 18.3 and decreasing it by 83% gives 1.7. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 83% and then lowering the result by 83% ends at 3.111, because the second 83% is taken of a bigger number.
