How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 46 = 14.26
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.26 ÷ 46 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/46, so part = 31 × 46 ÷ 100 = 14.26. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*46. 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

14.26 is the 31% share of 46. The remaining 69% is 31.74, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $46 saves $14.26, so you pay $31.74.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 46 by 31% gives 60.26 and decreasing it by 31% gives 31.74. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 41.5794, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
