How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 34 = 21.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.08 ÷ 34 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/34, so part = 62 × 34 ÷ 100 = 21.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*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

21.08 is the 62% share of 34. The remaining 38% is 12.92, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $34 saves $21.08, so you pay $12.92.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 34 by 62% gives 55.08 and decreasing it by 62% gives 12.92. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 20.9304, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
