How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 54 ÷ 100 = 0.54
  2. Multiply: 0.54 × 8 = 4.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.32 ÷ 8 × 100 = 54%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/100 = part/8, so part = 54 × 8 ÷ 100 = 4.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =54%*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

4.32 is the 54% share of 8. The remaining 46% is 3.68, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 54% off an item priced $8 saves $4.32, so you pay $3.68.

Adding and taking away 54%

Increasing 8 by 54% gives 12.32 and decreasing it by 54% gives 3.68. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 54% and then lowering the result by 54% ends at 5.6672, because the second 54% is taken of a bigger number.
