Answer: Like so:

30 percent of 50...

30/100= 0.30 (percentage)

0.30*50= 15 (discount, deducted amount, etc...)

Subtract answer from original number:

50-15= 35

30% of 50= 15

New amount= 35

Answer: If you had a fraction, you would have to turn into a decimal, then a percent. You can turn a decimal into a percent by multiplying the decimal by 100 and adding the percent sign. Hopefully this helps!
