To work out a percentage, the first thing to do is work out what ONE percent of the "something" is.

you do this by dividing the "something" by 100 (percent means 100).

Therefore

5800/100 = 58

58= 1% of 5800

It then follows that 3% of 5800 must be Three times the value for 1%. (58).

3*58 = 174

174 = 3% of 5800
