How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 34 = 16.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.32 ÷ 34 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/34, so part = 48 × 34 ÷ 100 = 16.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*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

16.32 is the 48% share of 34. The remaining 52% is 17.68, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $34 saves $16.32, so you pay $17.68.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 34 by 48% gives 50.32 and decreasing it by 48% gives 17.68. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 26.1664, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
