How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 12 ÷ 100 = 0.12
- Multiply: 0.12 × 34 = 4.08
- Check: Work backwards: 4.08 ÷ 34 × 100 = 12%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/100 = part/34, so part = 12 × 34 ÷ 100 = 4.08. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =12%*34. 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
4.08 is the 12% share of 34. The remaining 88% is 29.92, and the two parts add back up to 34.
Discounts: 12% off an item priced $34 saves $4.08, so you pay $29.92.
Adding and taking away 12%
Increasing 34 by 12% gives 38.08 and decreasing it by 12% gives 29.92. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 12% and then lowering the result by 12% ends at 33.5104, because the second 12% is taken of a bigger number.
