How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
  2. Multiply: 0.29 × 27 = 7.83
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.83 ÷ 27 × 100 = 29%.

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

In a spreadsheet: =29%*27. 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 29% share of 27. The remaining 71% is 19.17, and the two parts add back up to 27.

Discounts: 29% off an item priced $27 saves $7.83, so you pay $19.17.

Adding and taking away 29%

Increasing 27 by 29% gives 34.83 and decreasing it by 29% gives 19.17. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 24.7293, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
