How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 31 = 3.41
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.41 ÷ 31 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/31, so part = 11 × 31 ÷ 100 = 3.41. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*31. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

3.41 is the 11% share of 31. The remaining 89% is 27.59, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $31 saves $3.41, so you pay $27.59.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 31 by 11% gives 34.41 and decreasing it by 11% gives 27.59. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 30.6249, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
