How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 36 = 11.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.16 ÷ 36 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/36, so part = 31 × 36 ÷ 100 = 11.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*36. 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

11.16 is the 31% share of 36. The remaining 69% is 24.84, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $36 saves $11.16, so you pay $24.84.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 36 by 31% gives 47.16 and decreasing it by 31% gives 24.84. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 32.5404, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
