How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
- Multiply: 0.31 × 52 = 16.12
- Check: Work backwards: 16.12 ÷ 52 × 100 = 31%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/52, so part = 31 × 52 ÷ 100 = 16.12. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =31%*52. 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
16.12 is the 31% share of 52. The remaining 69% is 35.88, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Adding and taking away 31%
Increasing 52 by 31% gives 68.12 and decreasing it by 31% gives 35.88. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 47.0028, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
