How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 10 = 3.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.4 ÷ 10 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/10, so part = 34 × 10 ÷ 100 = 3.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*10. 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

3.4 is the 34% share of 10. The remaining 66% is 6.6, and the two parts add back up to 10.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $10 saves $3.4, so you pay $6.6.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 10 by 34% gives 13.4 and decreasing it by 34% gives 6.6. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 8.844, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
