The simplest, one-step, way is to multiply by 1.3.

But if your arithmetical skills are not up to that the longer way is:

Step 1: divide the number by 10 (move the decial point one place to the left)

Step 2: multiply the result by 3

Step 3: add this to the original number.

Or

Step 1: divide the number by 10 (move the decial point one place to the left)

Step 2a: add this to the original number (+ 10%)

Step 2b: add again (+ 20%)

Step 2c: add yet again (and you've got + 30%).

What is 35 percent of a number if12 is 15 percent of a number?

There is a quick way to solve many of these questions. A quick way to do this in your head, is to break down the result. You want 35% You have 15% What is 35%? Two 15%(30) and 1/3rd of a 15%(5). If you double the known number, you get the answer to the question of 30% of the number is 12 is 15% of it.

How does one find the percent of a sum?

To find the percent of anything, you change the percent to a decimal, and multiply. Finding the percent of a sum is no different. ex: 10% of (30 + 100) I can use the distributive property to take 10% of 30, then add 10% of 100. .10(30 + 100) = .10*30 + .10*100 = 3 + 10 = 13 In order to see how this works, let's not distribute. .10(30+100) and instead, add 30 +100 first, then take the percent. .10(130) = 13 We get the same answer! You can take the percent of the whole thing, or you can take the percent of the pieces that add up to the whole.
