How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 34 = 32.98
  3. Check: Work backwards: 32.98 ÷ 34 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/34, so part = 97 × 34 ÷ 100 = 32.98. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

32.98 is the 97% share of 34. The remaining 3% is 1.02, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $34 saves $32.98, so you pay $1.02.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 34 by 97% gives 66.98 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.02. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 2.0094, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
