How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
- Multiply: 0.08 × 7 = 0.56
- Check: Work backwards: 0.56 ÷ 7 × 100 = 8%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/7, so part = 8 × 7 ÷ 100 = 0.56. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =8%*7. 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
0.56 is the 8% share of 7. The remaining 92% is 6.44, and the two parts add back up to 7.
Discounts: 8% off an item priced $7 saves $0.56, so you pay $6.44.
Adding and taking away 8%
Increasing 7 by 8% gives 7.56 and decreasing it by 8% gives 6.44. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 6.9552, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
