How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 8 = 5.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.84 ÷ 8 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/8, so part = 73 × 8 ÷ 100 = 5.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*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

5.84 is the 73% share of 8. The remaining 27% is 2.16, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $8 saves $5.84, so you pay $2.16.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 8 by 73% gives 13.84 and decreasing it by 73% gives 2.16. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 3.7368, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
