How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
  2. Multiply: 0.08 × 29 = 2.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.32 ÷ 29 × 100 = 8%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/29, so part = 8 × 29 ÷ 100 = 2.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8%*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

2.32 is the 8% share of 29. The remaining 92% is 26.68, and the two parts add back up to 29.

Discounts: 8% off an item priced $29 saves $2.32, so you pay $26.68.

Adding and taking away 8%

Increasing 29 by 8% gives 31.32 and decreasing it by 8% gives 26.68. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 28.8144, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
