How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
- Multiply: 0.29 × 85 = 24.65
- Check: Work backwards: 24.65 ÷ 85 × 100 = 29%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/85, so part = 29 × 85 ÷ 100 = 24.65. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =29%*85. 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 85 by 29% gives 109.65 and decreasing it by 29% gives 60.35. These do not cancel out: raising 85 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 77.8515, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
