How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 35 ÷ 100 = 0.35
- Multiply: 0.35 × 8 = 2.8
- Check: Work backwards: 2.8 ÷ 8 × 100 = 35%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 35/100 = part/8, so part = 35 × 8 ÷ 100 = 2.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =35%*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
2.8 is the 35% share of 8. The remaining 65% is 5.2, and the two parts add back up to 8.
Discounts: 35% off an item priced $8 saves $2.8, so you pay $5.2.
Adding and taking away 35%
Increasing 8 by 35% gives 10.8 and decreasing it by 35% gives 5.2. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 35% and then lowering the result by 35% ends at 7.02, because the second 35% is taken of a bigger number.
