How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
  2. Multiply: 0.04 × 34 = 1.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.36 ÷ 34 × 100 = 4%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/34, so part = 4 × 34 ÷ 100 = 1.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4%*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

1.36 is the 4% share of 34. The remaining 96% is 32.64, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 4% off an item priced $34 saves $1.36, so you pay $32.64.

Adding and taking away 4%

Increasing 34 by 4% gives 35.36 and decreasing it by 4% gives 32.64. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 33.9456, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
