How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 92 ÷ 100 = 0.92
  2. Multiply: 0.92 × 8 = 7.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.36 ÷ 8 × 100 = 92%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 92/100 = part/8, so part = 92 × 8 ÷ 100 = 7.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =92%*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

7.36 is the 92% share of 8. The remaining 8% is 0.64, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 92% off an item priced $8 saves $7.36, so you pay $0.64.

Adding and taking away 92%

Increasing 8 by 92% gives 15.36 and decreasing it by 92% gives 0.64. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 92% and then lowering the result by 92% ends at 1.2288, because the second 92% is taken of a bigger number.
