How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
  2. Multiply: 0.45 × 31 = 13.95
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.95 ÷ 31 × 100 = 45%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/100 = part/31, so part = 45 × 31 ÷ 100 = 13.95. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =45%*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

13.95 is the 45% share of 31. The remaining 55% is 17.05, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 45% off an item priced $31 saves $13.95, so you pay $17.05.

Adding and taking away 45%

Increasing 31 by 45% gives 44.95 and decreasing it by 45% gives 17.05. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 24.7225, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
