How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3
  2. Multiply: 0.3 × 49 = 14.7
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.7 ÷ 49 × 100 = 30%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 30/100 = part/49, so part = 30 × 49 ÷ 100 = 14.7. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =30%*49. 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

14.7 is the 30% share of 49. The remaining 70% is 34.3, and the two parts add back up to 49.

Discounts: 30% off an item priced $49 saves $14.7, so you pay $34.3.

Adding and taking away 30%

Increasing 49 by 30% gives 63.7 and decreasing it by 30% gives 34.3. These do not cancel out: raising 49 by 30% and then lowering the result by 30% ends at 44.59, because the second 30% is taken of a bigger number.
