How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 91 ÷ 100 = 0.91
  2. Multiply: 0.91 × 8 = 7.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.28 ÷ 8 × 100 = 91%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 91/100 = part/8, so part = 91 × 8 ÷ 100 = 7.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =91%*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

7.28 is the 91% share of 8. The remaining 9% is 0.72, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 91% off an item priced $8 saves $7.28, so you pay $0.72.

Adding and taking away 91%

Increasing 8 by 91% gives 15.28 and decreasing it by 91% gives 0.72. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 91% and then lowering the result by 91% ends at 1.3752, because the second 91% is taken of a bigger number.
