How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
- Multiply: 0.51 × 58 = 29.58
- Check: Work backwards: 29.58 ÷ 58 × 100 = 51%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/58, so part = 51 × 58 ÷ 100 = 29.58. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =51%*58. 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 51%
Increasing 58 by 51% gives 87.58 and decreasing it by 51% gives 28.42. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 42.9142, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
