How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 34 = 21.42
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.42 ÷ 34 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/34, so part = 63 × 34 ÷ 100 = 21.42. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*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

21.42 is the 63% share of 34. The remaining 37% is 12.58, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $34 saves $21.42, so you pay $12.58.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 34 by 63% gives 55.42 and decreasing it by 63% gives 12.58. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 20.5054, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
