How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 23 = 7.82
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.82 ÷ 23 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/23, so part = 34 × 23 ÷ 100 = 7.82. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*23. 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

7.82 is the 34% share of 23. The remaining 66% is 15.18, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $23 saves $7.82, so you pay $15.18.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 23 by 34% gives 30.82 and decreasing it by 34% gives 15.18. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 20.3412, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
