How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
- Multiply: 0.31 × 90 = 27.9
- Check: Work backwards: 27.9 ÷ 90 × 100 = 31%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/90, so part = 31 × 90 ÷ 100 = 27.9. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =31%*90. 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
27.9 is the 31% share of 90. The remaining 69% is 62.1, and the two parts add back up to 90.
Discounts: 31% off an item priced $90 saves $27.9, so you pay $62.1.
Adding and taking away 31%
Increasing 90 by 31% gives 117.9 and decreasing it by 31% gives 62.1. These do not cancel out: raising 90 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 81.351, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
