How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 56 ÷ 100 = 0.56
- Multiply: 0.56 × 31 = 17.36
- Check: Work backwards: 17.36 ÷ 31 × 100 = 56%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 56/100 = part/31, so part = 56 × 31 ÷ 100 = 17.36. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =56%*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
17.36 is the 56% share of 31. The remaining 44% is 13.64, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Adding and taking away 56%
Increasing 31 by 56% gives 48.36 and decreasing it by 56% gives 13.64. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 56% and then lowering the result by 56% ends at 21.2784, because the second 56% is taken of a bigger number.
