How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49
  2. Multiply: 0.49 × 34 = 16.66
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.66 ÷ 34 × 100 = 49%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 49/100 = part/34, so part = 49 × 34 ÷ 100 = 16.66. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =49%*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

16.66 is the 49% share of 34. The remaining 51% is 17.34, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 49% off an item priced $34 saves $16.66, so you pay $17.34.

Adding and taking away 49%

Increasing 34 by 49% gives 50.66 and decreasing it by 49% gives 17.34. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 49% and then lowering the result by 49% ends at 25.8366, because the second 49% is taken of a bigger number.
