How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 15 ÷ 100 = 0.15
  2. Multiply: 0.15 × 200 = 30
  3. Check: Work backwards: 30 ÷ 200 × 100 = 15%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/100 = part/200, so part = 15 × 200 ÷ 100 = 30. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15%*200. 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

30 is the 15% share of 200. The remaining 85% is 170, and the two parts add back up to 200.

Discounts: 15% off an item priced $200 saves $30, so you pay $170.

Adding and taking away 15%

Increasing 200 by 15% gives 230 and decreasing it by 15% gives 170. These do not cancel out: raising 200 by 15% and then lowering the result by 15% ends at 195.5, because the second 15% is taken of a bigger number.
