How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 82 = 80.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 80.36 ÷ 82 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/82, so part = 98 × 82 ÷ 100 = 80.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*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

80.36 is the 98% share of 82. The remaining 2% is 1.64, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $82 saves $80.36, so you pay $1.64.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 82 by 98% gives 162.36 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.64. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 3.2472, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
