Extracting Characters and Mathematical Computation

I have a file with 1 record only and i.e. "Ashish|Bhasin|30000|END", I want to extract the first three characters of the third column and divide it by 10, so in the above case the answer should be 30.
I am using cut command to get 30000 out but not being able to use it further to divide it by 10.
Any bits?

middle=`cut -d| -f3 Sample_Divide|cut -c1-3`
middle=$((middle/10))

awk -F "|" {print substr($3,1,3)/10} file
here ($3,1,3) will get 300 and again 300 will divide by 10 to get 30.
