How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 50 ÷ 100 = 0.5
  2. Multiply: 0.5 × 29 = 14.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.5 ÷ 29 × 100 = 50%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/100 = part/29, so part = 50 × 29 ÷ 100 = 14.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =50%*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

14.5 is the 50% share of 29. The remaining 50% is 14.5, and the two parts add back up to 29.

Discounts: 50% off an item priced $29 saves $14.5, so you pay $14.5.

Adding and taking away 50%

Increasing 29 by 50% gives 43.5 and decreasing it by 50% gives 14.5. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 50% and then lowering the result by 50% ends at 21.75, because the second 50% is taken of a bigger number.
