How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
  2. Multiply: 0.84 × 30 = 25.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.2 ÷ 30 × 100 = 84%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/30, so part = 84 × 30 ÷ 100 = 25.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84%*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

25.2 is the 84% share of 30. The remaining 16% is 4.8, and the two parts add back up to 30.

Discounts: 84% off an item priced $30 saves $25.2, so you pay $4.8.

Adding and taking away 84%

Increasing 30 by 84% gives 55.2 and decreasing it by 84% gives 4.8. These do not cancel out: raising 30 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 8.832, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
