How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 3 ÷ 100 = 0.03
- Multiply: 0.03 × 19 = 0.57
- Check: Work backwards: 0.57 ÷ 19 × 100 = 3%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/100 = part/19, so part = 3 × 19 ÷ 100 = 0.57. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =3%*19. 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
0.57 is the 3% share of 19. The remaining 97% is 18.43, and the two parts add back up to 19.
Discounts: 3% off an item priced $19 saves $0.57, so you pay $18.43.
Adding and taking away 3%
Increasing 19 by 3% gives 19.57 and decreasing it by 3% gives 18.43. These do not cancel out: raising 19 by 3% and then lowering the result by 3% ends at 18.9829, because the second 3% is taken of a bigger number.
