How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 31 = 11.47
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.47 ÷ 31 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/31, so part = 37 × 31 ÷ 100 = 11.47. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*31. 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

11.47 is the 37% share of 31. The remaining 63% is 19.53, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $31 saves $11.47, so you pay $19.53.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 31 by 37% gives 42.47 and decreasing it by 37% gives 19.53. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 26.7561, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
