How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
  2. Multiply: 0.08 × 64 = 5.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.12 ÷ 64 × 100 = 8%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/64, so part = 8 × 64 ÷ 100 = 5.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8%*64. 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

5.12 is the 8% share of 64. The remaining 92% is 58.88, and the two parts add back up to 64.

Discounts: 8% off an item priced $64 saves $5.12, so you pay $58.88.

Adding and taking away 8%

Increasing 64 by 8% gives 69.12 and decreasing it by 8% gives 58.88. These do not cancel out: raising 64 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 63.5904, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
