How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 82 = 81.18
  3. Check: Work backwards: 81.18 ÷ 82 × 100 = 99%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/82, so part = 99 × 82 ÷ 100 = 81.18. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*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

81.18 is the 99% share of 82. The remaining 1% is 0.82, and the two parts add back up to 82.

Discounts: 99% off an item priced $82 saves $81.18, so you pay $0.82.

Adding and taking away 99%

Increasing 82 by 99% gives 163.18 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.82. These do not cancel out: raising 82 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 1.6318, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
