How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
  2. Multiply: 0.46 × 30 = 13.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.8 ÷ 30 × 100 = 46%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/30, so part = 46 × 30 ÷ 100 = 13.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46%*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

13.8 is the 46% share of 30. The remaining 54% is 16.2, and the two parts add back up to 30.

Discounts: 46% off an item priced $30 saves $13.8, so you pay $16.2.

Adding and taking away 46%

Increasing 30 by 46% gives 43.8 and decreasing it by 46% gives 16.2. These do not cancel out: raising 30 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 23.652, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
