How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 32 ÷ 100 = 0.32
  2. Multiply: 0.32 × 30 = 9.6
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.6 ÷ 30 × 100 = 32%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/100 = part/30, so part = 32 × 30 ÷ 100 = 9.6. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =32%*30. 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

9.6 is the 32% share of 30. The remaining 68% is 20.4, and the two parts add back up to 30.

Discounts: 32% off an item priced $30 saves $9.6, so you pay $20.4.

Adding and taking away 32%

Increasing 30 by 32% gives 39.6 and decreasing it by 32% gives 20.4. These do not cancel out: raising 30 by 32% and then lowering the result by 32% ends at 26.928, because the second 32% is taken of a bigger number.
