How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.08 × 100 = 8%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8% of 100 is 0.08 × 100 = 8.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = p/100, so p = 8 × 100 ÷ 100 = 8%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8/100*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.

What the result means

8 is less than a tenth of 100. The part that is left, 92, is the other 92%.

Test scores: 8 correct answers out of 100 is a score of 8%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 8 is 8% of a number, you can get that number back: 8 ÷ 0.08 = 100. And 100 as a percentage of 8 is 1,250%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
