How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 31 = 22.63
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.63 ÷ 31 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/31, so part = 73 × 31 ÷ 100 = 22.63. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*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

22.63 is the 73% share of 31. The remaining 27% is 8.37, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $31 saves $22.63, so you pay $8.37.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 31 by 73% gives 53.63 and decreasing it by 73% gives 8.37. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 14.4801, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
