How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
- Multiply: 0.29 × 58 = 16.82
- Check: Work backwards: 16.82 ÷ 58 × 100 = 29%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/58, so part = 29 × 58 ÷ 100 = 16.82. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =29%*58. 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

Adding and taking away 29%
Increasing 58 by 29% gives 74.82 and decreasing it by 29% gives 41.18. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 53.1222, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
