How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 3 ÷ 100 = 0.03
  2. Multiply: 0.03 × 93 = 2.79
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.79 ÷ 93 × 100 = 3%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/100 = part/93, so part = 3 × 93 ÷ 100 = 2.79. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =3%*93. 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

2.79 is the 3% share of 93. The remaining 97% is 90.21, and the two parts add back up to 93.

Discounts: 3% off an item priced $93 saves $2.79, so you pay $90.21.

Adding and taking away 3%

Increasing 93 by 3% gives 95.79 and decreasing it by 3% gives 90.21. These do not cancel out: raising 93 by 3% and then lowering the result by 3% ends at 92.9163, because the second 3% is taken of a bigger number.
