How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 42 ÷ 100 = 0.42
- Multiply: 0.42 × 29 = 12.18
- Check: Work backwards: 12.18 ÷ 29 × 100 = 42%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/100 = part/29, so part = 42 × 29 ÷ 100 = 12.18. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =42%*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.
