How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
- Multiply: 0.34 × 59 = 20.06
- Check: Work backwards: 20.06 ÷ 59 × 100 = 34%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/59, so part = 34 × 59 ÷ 100 = 20.06. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =34%*59. 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

Adding and taking away 34%
Increasing 59 by 34% gives 79.06 and decreasing it by 34% gives 38.94. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 52.1796, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
