How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83
- Multiply: 0.83 × 100 = 83
- Check: Work backwards: 83 ÷ 100 × 100 = 83%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/100 = part/100, so part = 83 × 100 ÷ 100 = 83. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =83%*100. 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
83 is the 83% share of 100. The remaining 17% is 17, and the two parts add back up to 100.
Discounts: 83% off an item priced $100 saves $83, so you pay $17.
Adding and taking away 83%
Increasing 100 by 83% gives 183 and decreasing it by 83% gives 17. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 83% and then lowering the result by 83% ends at 31.11, because the second 83% is taken of a bigger number.
