How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 22 = 6.82
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.82 ÷ 22 × 100 = 31%.

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

In a spreadsheet: =31%*22. 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 31% share of 22. The remaining 69% is 15.18, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $22 saves $6.82, so you pay $15.18.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 22 by 31% gives 28.82 and decreasing it by 31% gives 15.18. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 19.8858, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
