How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49
- Multiply: 0.49 × 79 = 38.71
- Check: Work backwards: 38.71 ÷ 79 × 100 = 49%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 49/100 = part/79, so part = 49 × 79 ÷ 100 = 38.71. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =49%*79. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 49%
Increasing 79 by 49% gives 117.71 and decreasing it by 49% gives 40.29. These do not cancel out: raising 79 by 49% and then lowering the result by 49% ends at 60.0321, because the second 49% is taken of a bigger number.
