How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 76 ÷ 100 = 0.76
  2. Multiply: 0.76 × 8 = 6.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.08 ÷ 8 × 100 = 76%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 76/100 = part/8, so part = 76 × 8 ÷ 100 = 6.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =76%*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

6.08 is the 76% share of 8. The remaining 24% is 1.92, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 76% off an item priced $8 saves $6.08, so you pay $1.92.

Adding and taking away 76%

Increasing 8 by 76% gives 14.08 and decreasing it by 76% gives 1.92. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 76% and then lowering the result by 76% ends at 3.3792, because the second 76% is taken of a bigger number.
