How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
  2. Multiply: 0.08 × 76 = 6.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.08 ÷ 76 × 100 = 8%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/76, so part = 8 × 76 ÷ 100 = 6.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8%*76. 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

6.08 is the 8% share of 76. The remaining 92% is 69.92, and the two parts add back up to 76.

Discounts: 8% off an item priced $76 saves $6.08, so you pay $69.92.

Adding and taking away 8%

Increasing 76 by 8% gives 82.08 and decreasing it by 8% gives 69.92. These do not cancel out: raising 76 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 75.5136, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
