How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
- Multiply: 0.31 × 85 = 26.35
- Check: Work backwards: 26.35 ÷ 85 × 100 = 31%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/85, so part = 31 × 85 ÷ 100 = 26.35. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =31%*85. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 31%
Increasing 85 by 31% gives 111.35 and decreasing it by 31% gives 58.65. These do not cancel out: raising 85 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 76.8315, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
