How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
  2. Multiply: 0.22 × 34 = 7.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.48 ÷ 34 × 100 = 22%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/34, so part = 22 × 34 ÷ 100 = 7.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22%*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

7.48 is the 22% share of 34. The remaining 78% is 26.52, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 22% off an item priced $34 saves $7.48, so you pay $26.52.

Adding and taking away 22%

Increasing 34 by 22% gives 41.48 and decreasing it by 22% gives 26.52. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 32.3544, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
