How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 8 = 1.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.04 ÷ 8 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/8, so part = 13 × 8 ÷ 100 = 1.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*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

1.04 is the 13% share of 8. The remaining 87% is 6.96, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $8 saves $1.04, so you pay $6.96.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 8 by 13% gives 9.04 and decreasing it by 13% gives 6.96. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 7.8648, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
