How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 58 = 17.98
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.98 ÷ 58 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/58, so part = 31 × 58 ÷ 100 = 17.98. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*58. 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

17.98 is the 31% share of 58. The remaining 69% is 40.02, and the two parts add back up to 58.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $58 saves $17.98, so you pay $40.02.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 58 by 31% gives 75.98 and decreasing it by 31% gives 40.02. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 52.4262, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
