150

Explanation:

The % sign stands for "per cent" - this is Latin for "by or for a hundred".

1% is, therefore a hundredth, i.e. $\frac{1}{100}$.

1% of 500 is, therefore $\frac{500}{100}$.

30% is, therefore, $30 x \frac{500}{100}$.

Divide top and bottom by 100: $30 x \frac{5}{1}$.

Multiply 30 by 5 = 150.
