How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 75 = 23.25
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.25 ÷ 75 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/75, so part = 31 × 75 ÷ 100 = 23.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*75. 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

23.25 is the 31% share of 75. The remaining 69% is 51.75, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $75 saves $23.25, so you pay $51.75.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 75 by 31% gives 98.25 and decreasing it by 31% gives 51.75. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 67.7925, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
