How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
- Multiply: 0.31 × 61 = 18.91
- Check: Work backwards: 18.91 ÷ 61 × 100 = 31%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/61, so part = 31 × 61 ÷ 100 = 18.91. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =31%*61. 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

Adding and taking away 31%
Increasing 61 by 31% gives 79.91 and decreasing it by 31% gives 42.09. These do not cancel out: raising 61 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 55.1379, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
