How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 34 = 17.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.68 ÷ 34 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/34, so part = 52 × 34 ÷ 100 = 17.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*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

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

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $34 saves $17.68, so you pay $16.32.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 34 by 52% gives 51.68 and decreasing it by 52% gives 16.32. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 24.8064, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
