How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 35 ÷ 100 = 0.35
  2. Multiply: 0.35 × 3 = 1.05
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.05 ÷ 3 × 100 = 35%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 35/100 = part/3, so part = 35 × 3 ÷ 100 = 1.05. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =35%*3. 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

1.05 is the 35% share of 3. The remaining 65% is 1.95, and the two parts add back up to 3.

Discounts: 35% off an item priced $3 saves $1.05, so you pay $1.95.

Adding and taking away 35%

Increasing 3 by 35% gives 4.05 and decreasing it by 35% gives 1.95. These do not cancel out: raising 3 by 35% and then lowering the result by 35% ends at 2.6325, because the second 35% is taken of a bigger number.
