How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 12 ÷ 100 = 0.12
- Multiply: 0.12 × 29 = 3.48
- Check: Work backwards: 3.48 ÷ 29 × 100 = 12%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/100 = part/29, so part = 12 × 29 ÷ 100 = 3.48. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =12%*29. 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
3.48 is the 12% share of 29. The remaining 88% is 25.52, and the two parts add back up to 29.

Adding and taking away 12%
Increasing 29 by 12% gives 32.48 and decreasing it by 12% gives 25.52. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 12% and then lowering the result by 12% ends at 28.5824, because the second 12% is taken of a bigger number.
