A percent, symbolized by the "%" symbol, means "per hundred" or "out of 100." It represents a fraction where the denominator is always 100. So 30% means 30 parts out of 100, or 30/100 as a fraction.

To calculate 30% of a number, we can multiply the number by 30/100.

Therefore, to find 30% of 96573.708:

`\begin{aligned}\sf 30\%\;of\;96573.708&=\sf (30)/(100) \cdot 96573.708\\\\&=\sf (30\cdot 96573.708)/(100) \\\\&=\sf (2897211.24)/(100) \\\\&=\sf 28972.1124\end{aligned}`

Therefore, 30% of 96573.708 is 28972.1124.
