How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 8 = 6.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.56 ÷ 8 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/8, so part = 82 × 8 ÷ 100 = 6.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*8. 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

6.56 is the 82% share of 8. The remaining 18% is 1.44, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $8 saves $6.56, so you pay $1.44.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 8 by 82% gives 14.56 and decreasing it by 82% gives 1.44. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 2.6208, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
