Method 1: Using Proportions

Let's find 10% of 3 using proportion.

10% is 10 out of 100.

\[ \frac{ 10 }{100} \]

Write the proportion to find x out of 3.

\[ \frac{ 10 }{100} = \frac{x}{ 3 } \]

Cross-multiply: 10 × 3 = 100x

\[ 10 \cdot 3 = 100x \]

Solve for x: (10 × 3) ÷ 100 = x

\[ \frac{ 30 }{100} = x \]

Hence, 10% of 3 is 0.3.

Method 2: Keyword-Based

Use keywords: "of" means multiply.

Convert 10% to decimal: 0.1

\[ x = 3 \cdot 0.1 \]

Multiply 3 × 0.1 = 0.3

So, 10% of 3 is 0.3.

Method 3: Formula-Based

Use the formula: percent × whole = part

Convert 10% to decimal: 0.1

\[ \text{Percentage} \cdot \text{Whole} = \text{Part} \]

3 × 0.1 = 0.3

Thus, 10% of 3 is 0.3.
