How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
- Multiply: 0.52 × 31 = 16.12
- Check: Work backwards: 16.12 ÷ 31 × 100 = 52%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/31, so part = 52 × 31 ÷ 100 = 16.12. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =52%*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 52%
Increasing 31 by 52% gives 47.12 and decreasing it by 52% gives 14.88. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 22.6176, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
