How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
- Multiply: 0.34 × 85 = 28.9
- Check: Work backwards: 28.9 ÷ 85 × 100 = 34%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/85, so part = 34 × 85 ÷ 100 = 28.9. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =34%*85. 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
28.9 is the 34% share of 85. The remaining 66% is 56.1, and the two parts add back up to 85.

Adding and taking away 34%
Increasing 85 by 34% gives 113.9 and decreasing it by 34% gives 56.1. These do not cancel out: raising 85 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 75.174, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
