Step-by-step explanation

1. Convert percentages into fractions or decimals

For fraction: divide 30 by 100 and remove the % sign.
$30 % = \frac{30}{100}$

For decimal: move the decimal point 2 places to the left and remove the % sign.
$30 % = 0.3$

2. Multiply the decimal or fraction by the quantity that equals 100%

$100 % = 511$
$\frac{30}{100} \cdot 511 = 0.3 \cdot 511 = 153.3$

30% of 511 is 153.3
