How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
- Multiply: 0.23 × 34 = 7.82
- Check: Work backwards: 7.82 ÷ 34 × 100 = 23%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/34, so part = 23 × 34 ÷ 100 = 7.82. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =23%*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
7.82 is the 23% share of 34. The remaining 77% is 26.18, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Adding and taking away 23%
Increasing 34 by 23% gives 41.82 and decreasing it by 23% gives 26.18. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 32.2014, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
