How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
- Multiply: 0.34 × 78 = 26.52
- Check: Work backwards: 26.52 ÷ 78 × 100 = 34%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/78, so part = 34 × 78 ÷ 100 = 26.52. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =34%*78. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 34%
Increasing 78 by 34% gives 104.52 and decreasing it by 34% gives 51.48. These do not cancel out: raising 78 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 68.9832, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
