How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 78 ÷ 100 = 0.78
- Multiply: 0.78 × 34 = 26.52
- Check: Work backwards: 26.52 ÷ 34 × 100 = 78%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/100 = part/34, so part = 78 × 34 ÷ 100 = 26.52. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =78%*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.

Adding and taking away 78%
Increasing 34 by 78% gives 60.52 and decreasing it by 78% gives 7.48. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 78% and then lowering the result by 78% ends at 13.3144, because the second 78% is taken of a bigger number.
