How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
- Multiply: 0.25 × 34 = 8.5
- Check: Work backwards: 8.5 ÷ 34 × 100 = 25%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/34, so part = 25 × 34 ÷ 100 = 8.5. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =25%*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
8.5 is the 25% share of 34. The remaining 75% is 25.5, and the two parts add back up to 34.
Discounts: 25% off an item priced $34 saves $8.5, so you pay $25.5.
Adding and taking away 25%
Increasing 34 by 25% gives 42.5 and decreasing it by 25% gives 25.5. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 31.875, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
