How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 73 = 22.63
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.63 ÷ 73 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/73, so part = 31 × 73 ÷ 100 = 22.63. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*73. 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

22.63 is the 31% share of 73. The remaining 69% is 50.37, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $73 saves $22.63, so you pay $50.37.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 73 by 31% gives 95.63 and decreasing it by 31% gives 50.37. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 65.9847, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
