How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
- Multiply: 0.08 × 19 = 1.52
- Check: Work backwards: 1.52 ÷ 19 × 100 = 8%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/19, so part = 8 × 19 ÷ 100 = 1.52. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =8%*19. 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

Adding and taking away 8%
Increasing 19 by 8% gives 20.52 and decreasing it by 8% gives 17.48. These do not cancel out: raising 19 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 18.8784, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
