How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 34 = 3.06
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.06 ÷ 34 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/34, so part = 9 × 34 ÷ 100 = 3.06. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*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

3.06 is the 9% share of 34. The remaining 91% is 30.94, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $34 saves $3.06, so you pay $30.94.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 34 by 9% gives 37.06 and decreasing it by 9% gives 30.94. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 33.7246, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
