How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 34 = 12.58
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.58 ÷ 34 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/34, so part = 37 × 34 ÷ 100 = 12.58. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*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

12.58 is the 37% share of 34. The remaining 63% is 21.42, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $34 saves $12.58, so you pay $21.42.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 34 by 37% gives 46.58 and decreasing it by 37% gives 21.42. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 29.3454, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
