How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 85 ÷ 100 = 0.85
- Multiply: 0.85 × 29 = 24.65
- Check: Work backwards: 24.65 ÷ 29 × 100 = 85%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 85/100 = part/29, so part = 85 × 29 ÷ 100 = 24.65. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =85%*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

Adding and taking away 85%
Increasing 29 by 85% gives 53.65 and decreasing it by 85% gives 4.35. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 85% and then lowering the result by 85% ends at 8.0475, because the second 85% is taken of a bigger number.
