How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 66 ÷ 100 = 0.66
  2. Multiply: 0.66 × 31 = 20.46
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.46 ÷ 31 × 100 = 66%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/100 = part/31, so part = 66 × 31 ÷ 100 = 20.46. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =66%*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

20.46 is the 66% share of 31. The remaining 34% is 10.54, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 66% off an item priced $31 saves $20.46, so you pay $10.54.

Adding and taking away 66%

Increasing 31 by 66% gives 51.46 and decreasing it by 66% gives 10.54. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 66% and then lowering the result by 66% ends at 17.4964, because the second 66% is taken of a bigger number.
