How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 31 = 22.01
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.01 ÷ 31 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/31, so part = 71 × 31 ÷ 100 = 22.01. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*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

22.01 is the 71% share of 31. The remaining 29% is 8.99, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $31 saves $22.01, so you pay $8.99.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 31 by 71% gives 53.01 and decreasing it by 71% gives 8.99. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 15.3729, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
