How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
  2. Multiply: 0.46 × 31 = 14.26
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.26 ÷ 31 × 100 = 46%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/31, so part = 46 × 31 ÷ 100 = 14.26. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46%*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

14.26 is the 46% share of 31. The remaining 54% is 16.74, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 46% off an item priced $31 saves $14.26, so you pay $16.74.

Adding and taking away 46%

Increasing 31 by 46% gives 45.26 and decreasing it by 46% gives 16.74. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 24.4404, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
