How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 46 = 15.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.64 ÷ 46 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/46, so part = 34 × 46 ÷ 100 = 15.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*46. 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

15.64 is the 34% share of 46. The remaining 66% is 30.36, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $46 saves $15.64, so you pay $30.36.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 46 by 34% gives 61.64 and decreasing it by 34% gives 30.36. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 40.6824, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
