How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 8 = 7.92
- Check: Work backwards: 7.92 ÷ 8 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/8, so part = 99 × 8 ÷ 100 = 7.92. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*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
7.92 is the 99% share of 8. The remaining 1% is 0.08, and the two parts add back up to 8.
Discounts: 99% off an item priced $8 saves $7.92, so you pay $0.08.
Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 8 by 99% gives 15.92 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.08. These do not cancel out: raising 8 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.1592, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
