How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
  2. Multiply: 0.38 × 8 = 3.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.04 ÷ 8 × 100 = 38%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/8, so part = 38 × 8 ÷ 100 = 3.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38%*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

3.04 is the 38% share of 8. The remaining 62% is 4.96, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 38% off an item priced $8 saves $3.04, so you pay $4.96.

Adding and taking away 38%

Increasing 8 by 38% gives 11.04 and decreasing it by 38% gives 4.96. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 6.8448, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
