How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 35 ÷ 100 = 0.35
  2. Multiply: 0.35 × 84 = 29.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.4 ÷ 84 × 100 = 35%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 35/100 = part/84, so part = 35 × 84 ÷ 100 = 29.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =35%*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

29.4 is the 35% share of 84. The remaining 65% is 54.6, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 35% off an item priced $84 saves $29.4, so you pay $54.6.

Adding and taking away 35%

Increasing 84 by 35% gives 113.4 and decreasing it by 35% gives 54.6. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 35% and then lowering the result by 35% ends at 73.71, because the second 35% is taken of a bigger number.
