How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
- Multiply: 0.31 × 51 = 15.81
- Check: Work backwards: 15.81 ÷ 51 × 100 = 31%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/51, so part = 31 × 51 ÷ 100 = 15.81. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =31%*51. 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
15.81 is the 31% share of 51. The remaining 69% is 35.19, and the two parts add back up to 51.

Adding and taking away 31%
Increasing 51 by 31% gives 66.81 and decreasing it by 31% gives 35.19. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 46.0989, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
