How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
- Multiply: 0.34 × 3 = 1.02
- Check: Work backwards: 1.02 ÷ 3 × 100 = 34%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/3, so part = 34 × 3 ÷ 100 = 1.02. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =34%*3. 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
1.02 is the 34% share of 3. The remaining 66% is 1.98, and the two parts add back up to 3.
Discounts: 34% off an item priced $3 saves $1.02, so you pay $1.98.
Adding and taking away 34%
Increasing 3 by 34% gives 4.02 and decreasing it by 34% gives 1.98. These do not cancel out: raising 3 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 2.6532, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
