How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 48 = 16.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.32 ÷ 48 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/48, so part = 34 × 48 ÷ 100 = 16.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*48. 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

16.32 is the 34% share of 48. The remaining 66% is 31.68, and the two parts add back up to 48.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $48 saves $16.32, so you pay $31.68.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 48 by 34% gives 64.32 and decreasing it by 34% gives 31.68. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 42.4512, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
