How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 21 = 7.14
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.14 ÷ 21 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/21, so part = 34 × 21 ÷ 100 = 7.14. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*21. 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

7.14 is the 34% share of 21. The remaining 66% is 13.86, and the two parts add back up to 21.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $21 saves $7.14, so you pay $13.86.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 21 by 34% gives 28.14 and decreasing it by 34% gives 13.86. These do not cancel out: raising 21 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 18.5724, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
