How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
- Multiply: 0.08 × 60 = 4.8
- Check: Work backwards: 4.8 ÷ 60 × 100 = 8%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/60, so part = 8 × 60 ÷ 100 = 4.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =8%*60. 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
4.8 is the 8% share of 60. The remaining 92% is 55.2, and the two parts add back up to 60.

Adding and taking away 8%
Increasing 60 by 8% gives 64.8 and decreasing it by 8% gives 55.2. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 59.616, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
