How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
- Multiply: 0.34 × 20 = 6.8
- Check: Work backwards: 6.8 ÷ 20 × 100 = 34%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/20, so part = 34 × 20 ÷ 100 = 6.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =34%*20. 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
6.8 is the 34% share of 20. The remaining 66% is 13.2, and the two parts add back up to 20.
Discounts: 34% off an item priced $20 saves $6.8, so you pay $13.2.
Adding and taking away 34%
Increasing 20 by 34% gives 26.8 and decreasing it by 34% gives 13.2. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 17.688, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
