How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 30 = 10.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.2 ÷ 30 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/30, so part = 34 × 30 ÷ 100 = 10.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*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

10.2 is the 34% share of 30. The remaining 66% is 19.8, and the two parts add back up to 30.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $30 saves $10.2, so you pay $19.8.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 30 by 34% gives 40.2 and decreasing it by 34% gives 19.8. These do not cancel out: raising 30 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 26.532, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
