How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
  2. Multiply: 0.08 × 58 = 4.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.64 ÷ 58 × 100 = 8%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/58, so part = 8 × 58 ÷ 100 = 4.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8%*58. 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

4.64 is the 8% share of 58. The remaining 92% is 53.36, and the two parts add back up to 58.

Discounts: 8% off an item priced $58 saves $4.64, so you pay $53.36.

Adding and taking away 8%

Increasing 58 by 8% gives 62.64 and decreasing it by 8% gives 53.36. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 57.6288, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
