How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 34 = 8.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.16 ÷ 34 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/34, so part = 24 × 34 ÷ 100 = 8.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*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

8.16 is the 24% share of 34. The remaining 76% is 25.84, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $34 saves $8.16, so you pay $25.84.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 34 by 24% gives 42.16 and decreasing it by 24% gives 25.84. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 32.0416, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
