How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
- Multiply: 0.51 × 31 = 15.81
- Check: Work backwards: 15.81 ÷ 31 × 100 = 51%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/31, so part = 51 × 31 ÷ 100 = 15.81. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =51%*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

Adding and taking away 51%
Increasing 31 by 51% gives 46.81 and decreasing it by 51% gives 15.19. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 22.9369, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
