How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
- Multiply: 0.75 × 8 = 6
- Check: Work backwards: 6 ÷ 8 × 100 = 75%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/100 = part/8, so part = 75 × 8 ÷ 100 = 6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =75%*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
6 is the 75% share of 8. The remaining 25% is 2, and the two parts add back up to 8.
Discounts: 75% off an item priced $8 saves $6, so you pay $2.
Adding and taking away 75%
Increasing 8 by 75% gives 14 and decreasing it by 75% gives 2. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 75% and then lowering the result by 75% ends at 3.5, because the second 75% is taken of a bigger number.
