How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 34 = 2.38
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.38 ÷ 34 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/34, so part = 7 × 34 ÷ 100 = 2.38. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*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

2.38 is the 7% share of 34. The remaining 93% is 31.62, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $34 saves $2.38, so you pay $31.62.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 34 by 7% gives 36.38 and decreasing it by 7% gives 31.62. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 33.8334, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
