How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
- Multiply: 0.16 × 29 = 4.64
- Check: Work backwards: 4.64 ÷ 29 × 100 = 16%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/29, so part = 16 × 29 ÷ 100 = 4.64. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =16%*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
4.64 is the 16% share of 29. The remaining 84% is 24.36, and the two parts add back up to 29.

Adding and taking away 16%
Increasing 29 by 16% gives 33.64 and decreasing it by 16% gives 24.36. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 28.2576, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
