How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57
  2. Multiply: 0.57 × 30 = 17.1
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.1 ÷ 30 × 100 = 57%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/100 = part/30, so part = 57 × 30 ÷ 100 = 17.1. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57%*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

17.1 is the 57% share of 30. The remaining 43% is 12.9, and the two parts add back up to 30.

Discounts: 57% off an item priced $30 saves $17.1, so you pay $12.9.

Adding and taking away 57%

Increasing 30 by 57% gives 47.1 and decreasing it by 57% gives 12.9. These do not cancel out: raising 30 by 57% and then lowering the result by 57% ends at 20.253, because the second 57% is taken of a bigger number.
