How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 8 = 4.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.16 ÷ 8 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/8, so part = 52 × 8 ÷ 100 = 4.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*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

4.16 is the 52% share of 8. The remaining 48% is 3.84, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $8 saves $4.16, so you pay $3.84.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 8 by 52% gives 12.16 and decreasing it by 52% gives 3.84. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 5.8368, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
