How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 30 = 15.6
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.6 ÷ 30 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/30, so part = 52 × 30 ÷ 100 = 15.6. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*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

15.6 is the 52% share of 30. The remaining 48% is 14.4, and the two parts add back up to 30.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $30 saves $15.6, so you pay $14.4.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 30 by 52% gives 45.6 and decreasing it by 52% gives 14.4. These do not cancel out: raising 30 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 21.888, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
