How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 29 = 28.42
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.42 ÷ 29 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/29, so part = 98 × 29 ÷ 100 = 28.42. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*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

28.42 is the 98% share of 29. The remaining 2% is 0.58, and the two parts add back up to 29.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $29 saves $28.42, so you pay $0.58.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 29 by 98% gives 57.42 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.58. These do not cancel out: raising 29 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 1.1484, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
