How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 29 = 7.83
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.83 ÷ 29 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/29, so part = 27 × 29 ÷ 100 = 7.83. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*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

7.83 is the 27% share of 29. The remaining 73% is 21.17, and the two parts add back up to 29.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $29 saves $7.83, so you pay $21.17.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 29 by 27% gives 36.83 and decreasing it by 27% gives 21.17. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 26.8859, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
