How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 60 ÷ 100 = 0.6
  2. Multiply: 0.6 × 49 = 29.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.4 ÷ 49 × 100 = 60%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 60/100 = part/49, so part = 60 × 49 ÷ 100 = 29.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =60%*49. 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

29.4 is the 60% share of 49. The remaining 40% is 19.6, and the two parts add back up to 49.

Discounts: 60% off an item priced $49 saves $29.4, so you pay $19.6.

Adding and taking away 60%

Increasing 49 by 60% gives 78.4 and decreasing it by 60% gives 19.6. These do not cancel out: raising 49 by 60% and then lowering the result by 60% ends at 31.36, because the second 60% is taken of a bigger number.
