How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
- Multiply: 0.34 × 40 = 13.6
- Check: Work backwards: 13.6 ÷ 40 × 100 = 34%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/40, so part = 34 × 40 ÷ 100 = 13.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =34%*40. 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
13.6 is the 34% share of 40. The remaining 66% is 26.4, and the two parts add back up to 40.
Discounts: 34% off an item priced $40 saves $13.6, so you pay $26.4.
Adding and taking away 34%
Increasing 40 by 34% gives 53.6 and decreasing it by 34% gives 26.4. These do not cancel out: raising 40 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 35.376, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
