How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
  2. Multiply: 0.46 × 34 = 15.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.64 ÷ 34 × 100 = 46%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/34, so part = 46 × 34 ÷ 100 = 15.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46%*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

15.64 is the 46% share of 34. The remaining 54% is 18.36, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 46% off an item priced $34 saves $15.64, so you pay $18.36.

Adding and taking away 46%

Increasing 34 by 46% gives 49.64 and decreasing it by 46% gives 18.36. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 26.8056, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
