How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 3 ÷ 100 = 0.03
- Multiply: 0.03 × 58 = 1.74
- Check: Work backwards: 1.74 ÷ 58 × 100 = 3%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/100 = part/58, so part = 3 × 58 ÷ 100 = 1.74. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =3%*58. 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
1.74 is the 3% share of 58. The remaining 97% is 56.26, and the two parts add back up to 58.

Adding and taking away 3%
Increasing 58 by 3% gives 59.74 and decreasing it by 3% gives 56.26. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 3% and then lowering the result by 3% ends at 57.9478, because the second 3% is taken of a bigger number.
