How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
  2. Multiply: 0.29 × 10 = 2.9
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.9 ÷ 10 × 100 = 29%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/10, so part = 29 × 10 ÷ 100 = 2.9. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29%*10. 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

2.9 is the 29% share of 10. The remaining 71% is 7.1, and the two parts add back up to 10.

Discounts: 29% off an item priced $10 saves $2.9, so you pay $7.1.

Adding and taking away 29%

Increasing 10 by 29% gives 12.9 and decreasing it by 29% gives 7.1. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 9.159, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
