How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
  2. Multiply: 0.08 × 77 = 6.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.16 ÷ 77 × 100 = 8%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/77, so part = 8 × 77 ÷ 100 = 6.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8%*77. 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

6.16 is the 8% share of 77. The remaining 92% is 70.84, and the two parts add back up to 77.

Discounts: 8% off an item priced $77 saves $6.16, so you pay $70.84.

Adding and taking away 8%

Increasing 77 by 8% gives 83.16 and decreasing it by 8% gives 70.84. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 76.5072, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
