How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 94 ÷ 100 = 0.94
  2. Multiply: 0.94 × 8 = 7.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.52 ÷ 8 × 100 = 94%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 94/100 = part/8, so part = 94 × 8 ÷ 100 = 7.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =94%*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

7.52 is the 94% share of 8. The remaining 6% is 0.48, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 94% off an item priced $8 saves $7.52, so you pay $0.48.

Adding and taking away 94%

Increasing 8 by 94% gives 15.52 and decreasing it by 94% gives 0.48. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 94% and then lowering the result by 94% ends at 0.9312, because the second 94% is taken of a bigger number.
