How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 30 = 10.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.8 ÷ 30 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/30, so part = 36 × 30 ÷ 100 = 10.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*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

10.8 is the 36% share of 30. The remaining 64% is 19.2, and the two parts add back up to 30.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $30 saves $10.8, so you pay $19.2.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 30 by 36% gives 40.8 and decreasing it by 36% gives 19.2. These do not cancel out: raising 30 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 26.112, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
