How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
- Multiply: 0.11 × 8 = 0.88
- Check: Work backwards: 0.88 ÷ 8 × 100 = 11%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/8, so part = 11 × 8 ÷ 100 = 0.88. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =11%*8. 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
0.88 is the 11% share of 8. The remaining 89% is 7.12, and the two parts add back up to 8.
Discounts: 11% off an item priced $8 saves $0.88, so you pay $7.12.
Adding and taking away 11%
Increasing 8 by 11% gives 8.88 and decreasing it by 11% gives 7.12. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 7.9032, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
