How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
  2. Multiply: 0.38 × 29 = 11.02
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.02 ÷ 29 × 100 = 38%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/29, so part = 38 × 29 ÷ 100 = 11.02. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38%*29. 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

11.02 is the 38% share of 29. The remaining 62% is 17.98, and the two parts add back up to 29.

Discounts: 38% off an item priced $29 saves $11.02, so you pay $17.98.

Adding and taking away 38%

Increasing 29 by 38% gives 40.02 and decreasing it by 38% gives 17.98. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 24.8124, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
