How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 52 = 17.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.68 ÷ 52 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/52, so part = 34 × 52 ÷ 100 = 17.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*52. 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

17.68 is the 34% share of 52. The remaining 66% is 34.32, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $52 saves $17.68, so you pay $34.32.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 52 by 34% gives 69.68 and decreasing it by 34% gives 34.32. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 45.9888, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
