How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 66 ÷ 100 = 0.66
  2. Multiply: 0.66 × 8 = 5.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.28 ÷ 8 × 100 = 66%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/100 = part/8, so part = 66 × 8 ÷ 100 = 5.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =66%*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

5.28 is the 66% share of 8. The remaining 34% is 2.72, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 66% off an item priced $8 saves $5.28, so you pay $2.72.

Adding and taking away 66%

Increasing 8 by 66% gives 13.28 and decreasing it by 66% gives 2.72. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 66% and then lowering the result by 66% ends at 4.5152, because the second 66% is taken of a bigger number.
