Detailed calculations and the verification of the result
A brief introduction. Percent, p%
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
30% = 30 'out of one hundred',
p% is read p 'percent',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100
30% = 30/100 = 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3
100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1
What does it mean:
Percentage of 30% of
which number is equal to 50?
30% of what number = 50
... is equivalent to multiplying them:
30% × number = 50
Number calculation, finding the missing unknown number
Percentage of 30% of what number = 50?
Let y be the number that we have to calculate.
30% × y = 50 =>
y =
50 ÷ 30% =
50 ÷ (30 ÷ 100) =
(100 × 50) ÷ 30 =
5,000 ÷ 30 ≈
166.666666666667 ≈
166.67
30% of 166.67 ≈ 50
Proof of the calculations
How do we check the result?
We carry out the reverse operation:
If 30% × 166.666666666667 = 50 =>
Divide the number 50 by the number 166.666666666667...
... And see if we get as a result: 30%
A quick note:
Multiply a number by the fraction
100/100,
... and its value doesn't change.
100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1
n/100 = n%, any number.
Calculate the percentage value:
See if we get the percentage of 30%
We will prove below that the calculations are correct.
50 ÷ 166.666666666667 ≈
0.299999999999999 =
0.299999999999999 × 100/100 =
(0.299999999999999 × 100)/100 ≈
30/100 =
30%
The answer:
:: written in two ways ::
Percentage of 30% of what number = 50?
30% × ? = 50
Rounded off to a maximum of 12 decimal places:
30% of 166.666666666667 ≈ 50
Rounded off to a maximum of 2 decimal places:
30% of 166.67 ≈ 50

Three examples of problems that can be solved out using the information in this section:
Problem 1:
- 25% of the annual profit of a company was invested in buying some new equipment. The total amount invested in buying the new equipment was 100,000 dollars. What was the annual profit of the company?
- Rewrite: 25% of the Profit means 100,000 dollars => 25% × Profit = 100,000 dollars => Profit = 100,000 ÷ 25% dollars = 100,000 ÷ 25/100 dollars = 100,000 × 100/25 dollars = 100,000 × 4 dollars = 400,000 dollars;
Problem 2:
- A number of 20% of the students in the terminal year have enrolled into the swimming class. In total, 7 students have enrolled. How many students are in the terminal year?
- Rewrite: 20% of the students means 7 students => 20% × Total number of students = 7 => The total number of students = 7 ÷ 20% = 7 ÷ 20/100 = 7 × 100/20 = 7 × 5 = 35;
Problem 3:
- In the last elections 49% of community memebrs voted for the A Party, 32% for the B Party, and the rest for the C Party. 17,920 people voted for the B Party. How many members are in the community, all in all?
- Rewrite: 32% of the total community members means 17,920 people => 32% × The total number of community members = 17,920 => The total number of community members = 17,920 ÷ 32% people = 17,920 ÷ 32/100 people = 17,920 × 100/32 people = 17,920/32 × 100 = 560 × 100 people = 56,000 people.
