How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 16 = 5.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.44 ÷ 16 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/16, so part = 34 × 16 ÷ 100 = 5.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*16. 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

5.44 is the 34% share of 16. The remaining 66% is 10.56, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $16 saves $5.44, so you pay $10.56.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 16 by 34% gives 21.44 and decreasing it by 34% gives 10.56. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 14.1504, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
