How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3
  2. Multiply: 0.3 × 200 = 60
  3. Check: Work backwards: 60 ÷ 200 × 100 = 30%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 30/100 = part/200, so part = 30 × 200 ÷ 100 = 60. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =30%*200. 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

60 is the 30% share of 200. The remaining 70% is 140, and the two parts add back up to 200.

Discounts: 30% off an item priced $200 saves $60, so you pay $140.

Adding and taking away 30%

Increasing 200 by 30% gives 260 and decreasing it by 30% gives 140. These do not cancel out: raising 200 by 30% and then lowering the result by 30% ends at 182, because the second 30% is taken of a bigger number.
