How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 84 = 28.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.56 ÷ 84 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/84, so part = 34 × 84 ÷ 100 = 28.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*84. 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

28.56 is the 34% share of 84. The remaining 66% is 55.44, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $84 saves $28.56, so you pay $55.44.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 84 by 34% gives 112.56 and decreasing it by 34% gives 55.44. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 74.2896, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
