How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3
- Multiply: 0.3 × 81 = 24.3
- Check: Work backwards: 24.3 ÷ 81 × 100 = 30%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 30/100 = part/81, so part = 30 × 81 ÷ 100 = 24.3. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =30%*81. 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
24.3 is the 30% share of 81. The remaining 70% is 56.7, and the two parts add back up to 81.

Adding and taking away 30%
Increasing 81 by 30% gives 105.3 and decreasing it by 30% gives 56.7. These do not cancel out: raising 81 by 30% and then lowering the result by 30% ends at 73.71, because the second 30% is taken of a bigger number.
