How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 54 ÷ 100 = 0.54
- Multiply: 0.54 × 31 = 16.74
- Check: Work backwards: 16.74 ÷ 31 × 100 = 54%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/100 = part/31, so part = 54 × 31 ÷ 100 = 16.74. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =54%*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 54%
Increasing 31 by 54% gives 47.74 and decreasing it by 54% gives 14.26. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 54% and then lowering the result by 54% ends at 21.9604, because the second 54% is taken of a bigger number.
