How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
- Multiply: 0.29 × 79 = 22.91
- Check: Work backwards: 22.91 ÷ 79 × 100 = 29%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/79, so part = 29 × 79 ÷ 100 = 22.91. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =29%*79. 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 79 by 29% gives 101.91 and decreasing it by 29% gives 56.09. These do not cancel out: raising 79 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 72.3561, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
