How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 14 = 4.34
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.34 ÷ 14 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/14, so part = 31 × 14 ÷ 100 = 4.34. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*14. 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

4.34 is the 31% share of 14. The remaining 69% is 9.66, and the two parts add back up to 14.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $14 saves $4.34, so you pay $9.66.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 14 by 31% gives 18.34 and decreasing it by 31% gives 9.66. These do not cancel out: raising 14 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 12.6546, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
