How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 7 = 2.38
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.38 ÷ 7 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/7, so part = 34 × 7 ÷ 100 = 2.38. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*7. 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

2.38 is the 34% share of 7. The remaining 66% is 4.62, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $7 saves $2.38, so you pay $4.62.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 7 by 34% gives 9.38 and decreasing it by 34% gives 4.62. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 6.1908, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
