How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
- Multiply: 0.17 × 29 = 4.93
- Check: Work backwards: 4.93 ÷ 29 × 100 = 17%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/29, so part = 17 × 29 ÷ 100 = 4.93. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =17%*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

Adding and taking away 17%
Increasing 29 by 17% gives 33.93 and decreasing it by 17% gives 24.07. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 28.1619, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
