Formula
The percentage formula is the same every time: divide the percentage by 100, then multiply by the base number.
- Convert 80% to a decimal. Divide by 100:

80% of 399.99 vs 80% off 399.99
These two phrases sound similar but give different answers. 80% of 399.99 gives the percentage amount on its own: 319.992. 80% off 399.99 means subtracting that amount from 399.99, which leaves 79.998 (about 80.00 for money).

Common mistakes to avoid
These are the four mistakes that most often turn a correct percentage problem into a wrong answer. Each one has a quick fix.
- Multiplying by 80 instead of the decimal form 0.8. That would give 31999.2 — 100 times the correct answer.
- Mixing up "of" and "off". 80% of 399.99 is 319.992. 80% off 399.99 is 79.998.
- Rounding too early. If you round during a multi-step calculation, the final answer can drift. Round only at the end.
- Trusting the calculator's % key blindly. Different calculators handle that key differently. The safe method is to convert 80% to 0.8 yourself, then multiply.
