How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
  2. Multiply: 0.25 × 30 = 7.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.5 ÷ 30 × 100 = 25%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/30, so part = 25 × 30 ÷ 100 = 7.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =25%*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

7.5 is the 25% share of 30. The remaining 75% is 22.5, and the two parts add back up to 30.

Discounts: 25% off an item priced $30 saves $7.5, so you pay $22.5.

Adding and taking away 25%

Increasing 30 by 25% gives 37.5 and decreasing it by 25% gives 22.5. These do not cancel out: raising 30 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 28.125, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
