How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 29 = 25.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.52 ÷ 29 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/29, so part = 88 × 29 ÷ 100 = 25.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*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

25.52 is the 88% share of 29. The remaining 12% is 3.48, and the two parts add back up to 29.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $29 saves $25.52, so you pay $3.48.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 29 by 88% gives 54.52 and decreasing it by 88% gives 3.48. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 6.5424, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
