How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 60 = 20.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.4 ÷ 60 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/60, so part = 34 × 60 ÷ 100 = 20.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*60. 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

20.4 is the 34% share of 60. The remaining 66% is 39.6, and the two parts add back up to 60.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $60 saves $20.4, so you pay $39.6.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 60 by 34% gives 80.4 and decreasing it by 34% gives 39.6. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 53.064, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
