How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 36 = 12.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.24 ÷ 36 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/36, so part = 34 × 36 ÷ 100 = 12.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*36. 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

12.24 is the 34% share of 36. The remaining 66% is 23.76, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $36 saves $12.24, so you pay $23.76.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 36 by 34% gives 48.24 and decreasing it by 34% gives 23.76. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 31.8384, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
