Take .30 X 500 and you'll get 150.
Any time you want a percentage of something just put a decimal point in front of the number and multiply it. Like I did 30% = .30. So 30% of 500 is 150. .30 X 500 = 150
If it's a single digit like 8, you'll need to put a .0 in front of the number, like this. 8% =.08, then multiply the same way. .08 X 500 = 40.
I hope that helps.

First convert 30% to decimal
Remove the % sign. divide 30 by 100 to get the decimal
30 / 100 = 0.3
Multiply 500 times the decimal
500 x 0.3 = 150
$ 150 is 30 % of 500

To find a % of an amount then you need to multiply the % by the amount
i.e 30% = 30 / 100
30 devided by 100 multiplied by 500 = $150

Divide the 500 by 100 and multiply it by 30.

just multiply 30% by 500
and
30%=.30(move the decimal point 2 places to the left)
so
=.30*500
=150.00
30% of $500= $150

If you had to do it in your head...
First find 10% of 500 - that's easy, just take off the last digit...
10% of 500 = 50
3 x 10% = 30%
so, 3 x 50 = 150
