How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 31 = 4.03
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.03 ÷ 31 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/31, so part = 13 × 31 ÷ 100 = 4.03. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*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

4.03 is the 13% share of 31. The remaining 87% is 26.97, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $31 saves $4.03, so you pay $26.97.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 31 by 13% gives 35.03 and decreasing it by 13% gives 26.97. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 30.4761, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
