How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 34 = 12.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.24 ÷ 34 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/34, so part = 36 × 34 ÷ 100 = 12.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*34. 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

12.24 is the 36% share of 34. The remaining 64% is 21.76, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $34 saves $12.24, so you pay $21.76.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 34 by 36% gives 46.24 and decreasing it by 36% gives 21.76. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 29.5936, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
