How to work it out

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

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

In a spreadsheet: =34%*100. 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

34 is the 34% share of 100. The remaining 66% is 66, and the two parts add back up to 100.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $100 saves $34, so you pay $66.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 100 by 34% gives 134 and decreasing it by 34% gives 66. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 88.44, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
