How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
- Multiply: 0.58 × 59 = 34.22
- Check: Work backwards: 34.22 ÷ 59 × 100 = 58%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/59, so part = 58 × 59 ÷ 100 = 34.22. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =58%*59. 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 58%
Increasing 59 by 58% gives 93.22 and decreasing it by 58% gives 24.78. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 39.1524, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
