How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
  2. Multiply: 0.22 × 31 = 6.82
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.82 ÷ 31 × 100 = 22%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/31, so part = 22 × 31 ÷ 100 = 6.82. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22%*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

6.82 is the 22% share of 31. The remaining 78% is 24.18, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 22% off an item priced $31 saves $6.82, so you pay $24.18.

Adding and taking away 22%

Increasing 31 by 22% gives 37.82 and decreasing it by 22% gives 24.18. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 29.4996, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
