How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 8 ÷ 96 = 0.083333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.083333 × 100 = 8.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.3333% of 96 is 0.083333 × 96 = 8.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/96 = p/100, so p = 8 × 100 ÷ 96 = 8.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8/96*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 96. The part that is left, 88, is the other 91.6667%.
