How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
  2. Multiply: 0.95 × 30 = 28.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.5 ÷ 30 × 100 = 95%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/30, so part = 95 × 30 ÷ 100 = 28.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =95%*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

28.5 is the 95% share of 30. The remaining 5% is 1.5, and the two parts add back up to 30.

Discounts: 95% off an item priced $30 saves $28.5, so you pay $1.5.

Adding and taking away 95%

Increasing 30 by 95% gives 58.5 and decreasing it by 95% gives 1.5. These do not cancel out: raising 30 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 2.925, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
