Three ways to work it out
All three give the same answer — pick whichever is easiest to do in your head for these numbers.
| Method | Working | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 200 × 0.15 | 30 |
| Divide by 100 first | (200 ÷ 100) × 15 = 2 × 15 | 30 |
| Ten-percent chunks | 10% of 200 = 20, then × 1.5 | 30 |

| 10% | 20 | 180 |

| 20% | 40 | 160 |

The reverse question
Going the other way — 30 is what percent of 200? — divides instead of multiplying: (30 ÷ 200) × 100 = 15%. That is the form to use when you know the part and the whole but not the rate, such as working out a score as a percentage or how much a price moved.
And to find the whole from the part: if 30 is 15% of some number, that number is 30 ÷ 0.15 = 200.
