30% of 75 is 22.5. As three tenths: 0.3 × 75 = 22.5. Ten percent is 7.5, and 7.5 × 3 = 22.5. Seventy-five is three twenty-fives, so you can triple another familiar answer: 30% of 25 is 7.5, and 7.5 × 3 = 22.5. On the same base, 20% of 75 is 15 and 25% of 75 is 18.75, while 15% of 75 is 11.25—doubling that fifteen-percent slice mentally lands on thirty percent again.
In money, 30% of £75 is £22.50. 30% off £75 means you subtract £22.50 and pay £52.50 before extras. If someone asks only for thirty percent of seventy-five, the figure is 22.5 (or £22.50), not fifty-two fifty—that is the post-discount total.
Add five to seventy: 30% of 70 is 21, plus 30% of 5 = 1.5 gives 22.5. Step up to eighty: 30% of 80 is 24, which is one and a half more than twenty-two point five—the lift you expect from adding five at a thirty-percent rate. Double the base to one hundred fifty: 30% of 150 is 45, exactly 2 × 22.5.
One third of seventy-five is exactly 25, which is two and a half units above the 22.5 you get at thirty percent—another reminder that “about a third” and thirty percent diverge even on friendly bases.
If £75 is reduced by 30%, the reduction is £22.50 and you pay £52.50 (before other charges).

Seventy-five carries a half in its ten-percent slice (7.5), and tripling keeps the answer in tenths: 22.5 rather than an awkward long decimal. That maps cleanly to £22.50 on a card receipt while staying simple to enter in a spreadsheet cell.
Seventy percent remains after a thirty-percent reduction: 75 − 22.5 = 52.5, or 0.7 × 75 = 52.5. If you only see £52.50 after a thirty-percent headline on £75, subtracting from seventy-five confirms the £22.50 markdown.
Default: 10% of 75 = 7.5, then 7.5 × 3 = 22.5.
Double 15% of 75 = 11.25 (two fifteens make thirty) → 22.5. Halve 30% of 150 = 45 to return 22.5 on seventy-five.
