How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
- Multiply: 0.29 × 51 = 14.79
- Check: Work backwards: 14.79 ÷ 51 × 100 = 29%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/51, so part = 29 × 51 ÷ 100 = 14.79. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =29%*51. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 29%
Increasing 51 by 29% gives 65.79 and decreasing it by 29% gives 36.21. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 46.7109, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
