How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 34 = 10.54
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.54 ÷ 34 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/34, so part = 31 × 34 ÷ 100 = 10.54. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*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

10.54 is the 31% share of 34. The remaining 69% is 23.46, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $34 saves $10.54, so you pay $23.46.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 34 by 31% gives 44.54 and decreasing it by 31% gives 23.46. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 30.7326, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
