How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 6 = 2.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.04 ÷ 6 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/6, so part = 34 × 6 ÷ 100 = 2.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*6. 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

2.04 is the 34% share of 6. The remaining 66% is 3.96, and the two parts add back up to 6.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $6 saves $2.04, so you pay $3.96.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 6 by 34% gives 8.04 and decreasing it by 34% gives 3.96. These do not cancel out: raising 6 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 5.3064, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
