How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49
  2. Multiply: 0.49 × 60 = 29.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.4 ÷ 60 × 100 = 49%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 49/100 = part/60, so part = 49 × 60 ÷ 100 = 29.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =49%*60. 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

29.4 is the 49% share of 60. The remaining 51% is 30.6, and the two parts add back up to 60.

Discounts: 49% off an item priced $60 saves $29.4, so you pay $30.6.

Adding and taking away 49%

Increasing 60 by 49% gives 89.4 and decreasing it by 49% gives 30.6. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 49% and then lowering the result by 49% ends at 45.594, because the second 49% is taken of a bigger number.
