How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49
  2. Multiply: 0.49 × 8 = 3.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.92 ÷ 8 × 100 = 49%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 49/100 = part/8, so part = 49 × 8 ÷ 100 = 3.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =49%*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

3.92 is the 49% share of 8. The remaining 51% is 4.08, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 49% off an item priced $8 saves $3.92, so you pay $4.08.

Adding and taking away 49%

Increasing 8 by 49% gives 11.92 and decreasing it by 49% gives 4.08. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 49% and then lowering the result by 49% ends at 6.0792, because the second 49% is taken of a bigger number.
