How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 34 = 33.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 33.32 ÷ 34 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/34, so part = 98 × 34 ÷ 100 = 33.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*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

33.32 is the 98% share of 34. The remaining 2% is 0.68, and the two parts add back up to 34.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $34 saves $33.32, so you pay $0.68.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 34 by 98% gives 67.32 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.68. These do not cancel out: raising 34 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 1.3464, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
