How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 34 = 4.42
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.42 ÷ 34 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/34, so part = 13 × 34 ÷ 100 = 4.42. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*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

4.42 is the 13% share of 34. The remaining 87% is 29.58, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $34 saves $4.42, so you pay $29.58.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 34 by 13% gives 38.42 and decreasing it by 13% gives 29.58. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 33.4254, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
