How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 71 = 22.01
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.01 ÷ 71 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/71, so part = 31 × 71 ÷ 100 = 22.01. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*71. 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

22.01 is the 31% share of 71. The remaining 69% is 48.99, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $71 saves $22.01, so you pay $48.99.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 71 by 31% gives 93.01 and decreasing it by 31% gives 48.99. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 64.1769, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
