How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
  2. Multiply: 0.29 × 34 = 9.86
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.86 ÷ 34 × 100 = 29%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/34, so part = 29 × 34 ÷ 100 = 9.86. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29%*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

9.86 is the 29% share of 34. The remaining 71% is 24.14, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 29% off an item priced $34 saves $9.86, so you pay $24.14.

Adding and taking away 29%

Increasing 34 by 29% gives 43.86 and decreasing it by 29% gives 24.14. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 31.1406, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
