= 9.6

120 − 9.6 = 110.4 remaining

How to calculate it

Method 1: multiply directly

120 × 8% = 120 × 8 ÷ 100 = 960 ÷ 100 = 9.6. A percentage literally means "per hundred", so multiplying the base by the percentage and dividing by 100 gives the part.

Method 2: find 1% first, then scale

1% of 120 is 1.2, so 8% is 1.2 × 8 = 9.6. Using 1% as a stepping stone is the fastest mental route when you do not remember the formula.

FAQ

The formula is "base × percentage ÷ 100". Plugging in: 120 × 8 ÷ 100 = 9.6. By hand, find 1% first (1.2) and multiply by 8; the same formula works above 100%, where the result exceeds the base.

Start with 10% (shift the decimal point one place left — 10% of 120 is 12), then combine: 20% is double, 5% is half of that, 15% is 10% plus 5%. Split 8% into 0% plus 8% and add the two parts. With practice, any two-digit base becomes mental math.

Use "part ÷ whole × 100%": 9.6 ÷ 120 × 100% = 8%. This is the inverse of "find a percentage of a number" — the same relationship, part = whole × percentage, read backwards.

8% = 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08. The percent sign itself means "divide by 100": removing it shifts the decimal two places left, adding it shifts two places right.
