How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
- Multiply: 0.31 × 59 = 18.29
- Check: Work backwards: 18.29 ÷ 59 × 100 = 31%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/59, so part = 31 × 59 ÷ 100 = 18.29. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =31%*59. 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
18.29 is the 31% share of 59. The remaining 69% is 40.71, and the two parts add back up to 59.

Adding and taking away 31%
Increasing 59 by 31% gives 77.29 and decreasing it by 31% gives 40.71. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 53.3301, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
