How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
- Multiply: 0.31 × 78 = 24.18
- Check: Work backwards: 24.18 ÷ 78 × 100 = 31%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/78, so part = 31 × 78 ÷ 100 = 24.18. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =31%*78. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
