How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
  2. Multiply: 0.7 × 29 = 20.3
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.3 ÷ 29 × 100 = 70%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/100 = part/29, so part = 70 × 29 ÷ 100 = 20.3. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70%*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.

What the result means

20.3 is the 70% share of 29. The remaining 30% is 8.7, and the two parts add back up to 29.

Discounts: 70% off an item priced $29 saves $20.3, so you pay $8.7.

Adding and taking away 70%

Increasing 29 by 70% gives 49.3 and decreasing it by 70% gives 8.7. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 14.79, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
