How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
  2. Multiply: 0.29 × 25 = 7.25
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.25 ÷ 25 × 100 = 29%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/25, so part = 29 × 25 ÷ 100 = 7.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29%*25. 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

7.25 is the 29% share of 25. The remaining 71% is 17.75, and the two parts add back up to 25.

Discounts: 29% off an item priced $25 saves $7.25, so you pay $17.75.

Adding and taking away 29%

Increasing 25 by 29% gives 32.25 and decreasing it by 29% gives 17.75. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 22.8975, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
