How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 8 ÷ 80 = 0.1
- Multiply by 100: 0.1 × 100 = 10%
- Check: Work backwards: 10% of 80 is 0.1 × 80 = 8.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/80 = p/100, so p = 8 × 100 ÷ 80 = 10%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =8/80*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 between a tenth and a quarter of 80. The part that is left, 72, is the other 90%.
Test scores: 8 correct answers out of 80 is a score of 10%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.
Turning it around
If you know that 8 is 10% of a number, you can get that number back: 8 ÷ 0.1 = 80. And 80 as a percentage of 8 is 1,000%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
