How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 29 = 28.13
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.13 ÷ 29 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/29, so part = 97 × 29 ÷ 100 = 28.13. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

28.13 is the 97% share of 29. The remaining 3% is 0.87, and the two parts add back up to 29.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $29 saves $28.13, so you pay $0.87.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 29 by 97% gives 57.13 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.87. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 1.7139, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
