How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 82 = 7.38
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.38 ÷ 82 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/82, so part = 9 × 82 ÷ 100 = 7.38. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*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

7.38 is the 9% share of 82. The remaining 91% is 74.62, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $82 saves $7.38, so you pay $74.62.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 82 by 9% gives 89.38 and decreasing it by 9% gives 74.62. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 81.3358, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
