How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 19 = 5.89
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.89 ÷ 19 × 100 = 31%.

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

In a spreadsheet: =31%*19. 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 31% share of 19. The remaining 69% is 13.11, and the two parts add back up to 19.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $19 saves $5.89, so you pay $13.11.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 19 by 31% gives 24.89 and decreasing it by 31% gives 13.11. These do not cancel out: raising 19 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 17.1741, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
