How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
- Multiply: 0.34 × 15 = 5.1
- Check: Work backwards: 5.1 ÷ 15 × 100 = 34%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/15, so part = 34 × 15 ÷ 100 = 5.1. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =34%*15. 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
5.1 is the 34% share of 15. The remaining 66% is 9.9, and the two parts add back up to 15.
Discounts: 34% off an item priced $15 saves $5.1, so you pay $9.9.
Adding and taking away 34%
Increasing 15 by 34% gives 20.1 and decreasing it by 34% gives 9.9. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 13.266, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
