How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 85 ÷ 100 = 0.85
  2. Multiply: 0.85 × 82 = 69.7
  3. Check: Work backwards: 69.7 ÷ 82 × 100 = 85%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 85/100 = part/82, so part = 85 × 82 ÷ 100 = 69.7. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =85%*82. 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 85% share of 82. The remaining 15% is 12.3, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 85% off an item priced $82 saves $69.7, so you pay $12.3.

Adding and taking away 85%

Increasing 82 by 85% gives 151.7 and decreasing it by 85% gives 12.3. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 85% and then lowering the result by 85% ends at 22.755, because the second 85% is taken of a bigger number.
