How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
- Multiply: 0.29 × 31 = 8.99
- Check: Work backwards: 8.99 ÷ 31 × 100 = 29%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/31, so part = 29 × 31 ÷ 100 = 8.99. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =29%*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
8.99 is the 29% share of 31. The remaining 71% is 22.01, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Adding and taking away 29%
Increasing 31 by 29% gives 39.99 and decreasing it by 29% gives 22.01. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 28.3929, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
