How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
- Multiply: 0.34 × 55 = 18.7
- Check: Work backwards: 18.7 ÷ 55 × 100 = 34%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/55, so part = 34 × 55 ÷ 100 = 18.7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =34%*55. 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
18.7 is the 34% share of 55. The remaining 66% is 36.3, and the two parts add back up to 55.
Discounts: 34% off an item priced $55 saves $18.7, so you pay $36.3.
Adding and taking away 34%
Increasing 55 by 34% gives 73.7 and decreasing it by 34% gives 36.3. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 48.642, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
