How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 53 ÷ 100 = 0.53
- Multiply: 0.53 × 31 = 16.43
- Check: Work backwards: 16.43 ÷ 31 × 100 = 53%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 53/100 = part/31, so part = 53 × 31 ÷ 100 = 16.43. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =53%*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
16.43 is the 53% share of 31. The remaining 47% is 14.57, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Adding and taking away 53%
Increasing 31 by 53% gives 47.43 and decreasing it by 53% gives 14.57. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 53% and then lowering the result by 53% ends at 22.2921, because the second 53% is taken of a bigger number.
