How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
- Multiply: 0.08 × 25 = 2
- Check: Work backwards: 2 ÷ 25 × 100 = 8%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/25, so part = 8 × 25 ÷ 100 = 2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =8%*25. 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
2 is the 8% share of 25. The remaining 92% is 23, and the two parts add back up to 25.
Discounts: 8% off an item priced $25 saves $2, so you pay $23.
Adding and taking away 8%
Increasing 25 by 8% gives 27 and decreasing it by 8% gives 23. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 24.84, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
