How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 19 ÷ 100 = 0.19
  2. Multiply: 0.19 × 31 = 5.89
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.89 ÷ 31 × 100 = 19%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 19/100 = part/31, so part = 19 × 31 ÷ 100 = 5.89. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =19%*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

5.89 is the 19% share of 31. The remaining 81% is 25.11, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 19% off an item priced $31 saves $5.89, so you pay $25.11.

Adding and taking away 19%

Increasing 31 by 19% gives 36.89 and decreasing it by 19% gives 25.11. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 19% and then lowering the result by 19% ends at 29.8809, because the second 19% is taken of a bigger number.
