How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 29 = 6.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.96 ÷ 29 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/29, so part = 24 × 29 ÷ 100 = 6.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*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

6.96 is the 24% share of 29. The remaining 76% is 22.04, and the two parts add back up to 29.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $29 saves $6.96, so you pay $22.04.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 29 by 24% gives 35.96 and decreasing it by 24% gives 22.04. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 27.3296, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
