How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
  2. Multiply: 0.08 × 88 = 7.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.04 ÷ 88 × 100 = 8%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/88, so part = 8 × 88 ÷ 100 = 7.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8%*88. 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

7.04 is the 8% share of 88. The remaining 92% is 80.96, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 8% off an item priced $88 saves $7.04, so you pay $80.96.

Adding and taking away 8%

Increasing 88 by 8% gives 95.04 and decreasing it by 8% gives 80.96. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 87.4368, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
