How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 30 = 3.3
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.3 ÷ 30 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/30, so part = 11 × 30 ÷ 100 = 3.3. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*30. 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

3.3 is the 11% share of 30. The remaining 89% is 26.7, and the two parts add back up to 30.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $30 saves $3.3, so you pay $26.7.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 30 by 11% gives 33.3 and decreasing it by 11% gives 26.7. These do not cancel out: raising 30 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 29.637, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
