How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 61 ÷ 100 = 0.61
- Multiply: 0.61 × 29 = 17.69
- Check: Work backwards: 17.69 ÷ 29 × 100 = 61%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/100 = part/29, so part = 61 × 29 ÷ 100 = 17.69. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =61%*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.

Adding and taking away 61%
Increasing 29 by 61% gives 46.69 and decreasing it by 61% gives 11.31. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 61% and then lowering the result by 61% ends at 18.2091, because the second 61% is taken of a bigger number.
