How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
- Multiply: 0.31 × 54 = 16.74
- Check: Work backwards: 16.74 ÷ 54 × 100 = 31%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/54, so part = 31 × 54 ÷ 100 = 16.74. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =31%*54. 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
16.74 is the 31% share of 54. The remaining 69% is 37.26, and the two parts add back up to 54.

Adding and taking away 31%
Increasing 54 by 31% gives 70.74 and decreasing it by 31% gives 37.26. These do not cancel out: raising 54 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 48.8106, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
