How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 93 ÷ 100 = 0.93
  2. Multiply: 0.93 × 8 = 7.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.44 ÷ 8 × 100 = 93%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 93/100 = part/8, so part = 93 × 8 ÷ 100 = 7.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =93%*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

7.44 is the 93% share of 8. The remaining 7% is 0.56, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 93% off an item priced $8 saves $7.44, so you pay $0.56.

Adding and taking away 93%

Increasing 8 by 93% gives 15.44 and decreasing it by 93% gives 0.56. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 93% and then lowering the result by 93% ends at 1.0808, because the second 93% is taken of a bigger number.
