How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 8 = 7.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.76 ÷ 8 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/8, so part = 97 × 8 ÷ 100 = 7.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

7.76 is the 97% share of 8. The remaining 3% is 0.24, and the two parts add back up to 8.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $8 saves $7.76, so you pay $0.24.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 8 by 97% gives 15.76 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.24. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 0.4728, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
