How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
- Multiply: 0.08 × 99 = 7.92
- Check: Work backwards: 7.92 ÷ 99 × 100 = 8%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/99, so part = 8 × 99 ÷ 100 = 7.92. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =8%*99. 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
7.92 is the 8% share of 99. The remaining 92% is 91.08, and the two parts add back up to 99.
Discounts: 8% off an item priced $99 saves $7.92, so you pay $91.08.
Adding and taking away 8%
Increasing 99 by 8% gives 106.92 and decreasing it by 8% gives 91.08. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 98.3664, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
