How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 8 = 1.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.12 ÷ 8 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/8, so part = 14 × 8 ÷ 100 = 1.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*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

1.12 is the 14% share of 8. The remaining 86% is 6.88, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $8 saves $1.12, so you pay $6.88.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 8 by 14% gives 9.12 and decreasing it by 14% gives 6.88. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 7.8432, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
