How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3
  2. Multiply: 0.3 × 84 = 25.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.2 ÷ 84 × 100 = 30%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 30/100 = part/84, so part = 30 × 84 ÷ 100 = 25.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =30%*84. 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

25.2 is the 30% share of 84. The remaining 70% is 58.8, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 30% off an item priced $84 saves $25.2, so you pay $58.8.

Adding and taking away 30%

Increasing 84 by 30% gives 109.2 and decreasing it by 30% gives 58.8. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 30% and then lowering the result by 30% ends at 76.44, because the second 30% is taken of a bigger number.
