How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
- Multiply: 0.51 × 34 = 17.34
- Check: Work backwards: 17.34 ÷ 34 × 100 = 51%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/34, so part = 51 × 34 ÷ 100 = 17.34. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =51%*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

Adding and taking away 51%
Increasing 34 by 51% gives 51.34 and decreasing it by 51% gives 16.66. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 25.1566, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
