How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 59 ÷ 100 = 0.59
  2. Multiply: 0.59 × 58 = 34.22
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.22 ÷ 58 × 100 = 59%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/100 = part/58, so part = 59 × 58 ÷ 100 = 34.22. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =59%*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.

What the result means

34.22 is the 59% share of 58. The remaining 41% is 23.78, and the two parts add back up to 58.

Discounts: 59% off an item priced $58 saves $34.22, so you pay $23.78.

Adding and taking away 59%

Increasing 58 by 59% gives 92.22 and decreasing it by 59% gives 23.78. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 59% and then lowering the result by 59% ends at 37.8102, because the second 59% is taken of a bigger number.
