How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
  2. Multiply: 0.29 × 8 = 2.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.32 ÷ 8 × 100 = 29%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/8, so part = 29 × 8 ÷ 100 = 2.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29%*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

2.32 is the 29% share of 8. The remaining 71% is 5.68, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 29% off an item priced $8 saves $2.32, so you pay $5.68.

Adding and taking away 29%

Increasing 8 by 29% gives 10.32 and decreasing it by 29% gives 5.68. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 7.3272, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
