Two ways to look at it. I'm giving you the long way first, so you can see why the short way works.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
30% is the same as 30 parts out of the whole of 100, so it can be written as a fraction: 30/100
If you are finding what percent of a given number, you want a part out of a whole. Therefore, you want to know x/180.
Set these equal to each other and solve by cross-multiplication.
30/100 = x/180
100x = 5400
x = 54
$54.00 is 30% of $180.00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's the short way with the second and third ones.
5% as a decimal is 0.05 To find it, you move the decimal point to the left 2 places. Multiply the percent (in decimal form) by the total.
0.05(34900) = 1745
$1,745.00 is 5% of $34,900.00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``
5% = 0.05
0.05(4800) = 240
$240.00 is 5% of $4,800.00

An easy way to do simple percents like this is to divide the number you are getting the percent of by 100 and then multiplying by the percent number.
e.g. 5% of 4800 = 48 * 5 = 240

30% means 0.30
0.30 x $180,000 = $54,000
0.05 x $34,900 = $1,745
0.05 x $4,800 = $240
