How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 31 = 19.22
  3. Check: Work backwards: 19.22 ÷ 31 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/31, so part = 62 × 31 ÷ 100 = 19.22. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*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

19.22 is the 62% share of 31. The remaining 38% is 11.78, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $31 saves $19.22, so you pay $11.78.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 31 by 62% gives 50.22 and decreasing it by 62% gives 11.78. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 19.0836, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
