How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
  2. Multiply: 0.43 × 34 = 14.62
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.62 ÷ 34 × 100 = 43%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/34, so part = 43 × 34 ÷ 100 = 14.62. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43%*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

14.62 is the 43% share of 34. The remaining 57% is 19.38, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 43% off an item priced $34 saves $14.62, so you pay $19.38.

Adding and taking away 43%

Increasing 34 by 43% gives 48.62 and decreasing it by 43% gives 19.38. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 27.7134, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
