How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 3 ÷ 100 = 0.03
- Multiply: 0.03 × 35 = 1.05
- Check: Work backwards: 1.05 ÷ 35 × 100 = 3%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/100 = part/35, so part = 3 × 35 ÷ 100 = 1.05. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =3%*35. 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
1.05 is the 3% share of 35. The remaining 97% is 33.95, and the two parts add back up to 35.
Discounts: 3% off an item priced $35 saves $1.05, so you pay $33.95.
Adding and taking away 3%
Increasing 35 by 3% gives 36.05 and decreasing it by 3% gives 33.95. These do not cancel out: raising 35 by 3% and then lowering the result by 3% ends at 34.9685, because the second 3% is taken of a bigger number.
