How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 29 = 13.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.92 ÷ 29 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/29, so part = 48 × 29 ÷ 100 = 13.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*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

13.92 is the 48% share of 29. The remaining 52% is 15.08, and the two parts add back up to 29.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $29 saves $13.92, so you pay $15.08.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 29 by 48% gives 42.92 and decreasing it by 48% gives 15.08. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 22.3184, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
