How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 34 = 29.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.92 ÷ 34 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/34, so part = 88 × 34 ÷ 100 = 29.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*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

29.92 is the 88% share of 34. The remaining 12% is 4.08, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $34 saves $29.92, so you pay $4.08.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 34 by 88% gives 63.92 and decreasing it by 88% gives 4.08. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 7.6704, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
