How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
- Multiply: 0.34 × 12 = 4.08
- Check: Work backwards: 4.08 ÷ 12 × 100 = 34%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/12, so part = 34 × 12 ÷ 100 = 4.08. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =34%*12. 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
4.08 is the 34% share of 12. The remaining 66% is 7.92, and the two parts add back up to 12.
Discounts: 34% off an item priced $12 saves $4.08, so you pay $7.92.
Adding and taking away 34%
Increasing 12 by 34% gives 16.08 and decreasing it by 34% gives 7.92. These do not cancel out: raising 12 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 10.6128, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
