How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 8 = 5.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.68 ÷ 8 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/8, so part = 71 × 8 ÷ 100 = 5.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*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

5.68 is the 71% share of 8. The remaining 29% is 2.32, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $8 saves $5.68, so you pay $2.32.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 8 by 71% gives 13.68 and decreasing it by 71% gives 2.32. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 3.9672, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
