How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 28 = 9.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.52 ÷ 28 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/28, so part = 34 × 28 ÷ 100 = 9.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*28. 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

9.52 is the 34% share of 28. The remaining 66% is 18.48, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $28 saves $9.52, so you pay $18.48.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 28 by 34% gives 37.52 and decreasing it by 34% gives 18.48. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 24.7632, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
