How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
- Multiply: 0.34 × 50 = 17
- Check: Work backwards: 17 ÷ 50 × 100 = 34%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/50, so part = 34 × 50 ÷ 100 = 17. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =34%*50. 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
17 is the 34% share of 50. The remaining 66% is 33, and the two parts add back up to 50.
Discounts: 34% off an item priced $50 saves $17, so you pay $33.
Adding and taking away 34%
Increasing 50 by 34% gives 67 and decreasing it by 34% gives 33. These do not cancel out: raising 50 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 44.22, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
