How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
  2. Multiply: 0.29 × 80 = 23.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.2 ÷ 80 × 100 = 29%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/80, so part = 29 × 80 ÷ 100 = 23.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29%*80. 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

23.2 is the 29% share of 80. The remaining 71% is 56.8, and the two parts add back up to 80.

Discounts: 29% off an item priced $80 saves $23.2, so you pay $56.8.

Adding and taking away 29%

Increasing 80 by 29% gives 103.2 and decreasing it by 29% gives 56.8. These do not cancel out: raising 80 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 73.272, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
