How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
  2. Multiply: 0.08 × 22 = 1.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.76 ÷ 22 × 100 = 8%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/22, so part = 8 × 22 ÷ 100 = 1.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8%*22. 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

1.76 is the 8% share of 22. The remaining 92% is 20.24, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 8% off an item priced $22 saves $1.76, so you pay $20.24.

Adding and taking away 8%

Increasing 22 by 8% gives 23.76 and decreasing it by 8% gives 20.24. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 21.8592, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
