How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 96 = 29.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.76 ÷ 96 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/96, so part = 31 × 96 ÷ 100 = 29.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*96. 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

29.76 is the 31% share of 96. The remaining 69% is 66.24, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $96 saves $29.76, so you pay $66.24.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 96 by 31% gives 125.76 and decreasing it by 31% gives 66.24. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 86.7744, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
