How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
- Multiply: 0.31 × 74 = 22.94
- Check: Work backwards: 22.94 ÷ 74 × 100 = 31%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/74, so part = 31 × 74 ÷ 100 = 22.94. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =31%*74. 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 74 by 31% gives 96.94 and decreasing it by 31% gives 51.06. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 66.8886, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
