How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
  2. Multiply: 0.84 × 31 = 26.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.04 ÷ 31 × 100 = 84%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/31, so part = 84 × 31 ÷ 100 = 26.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84%*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

26.04 is the 84% share of 31. The remaining 16% is 4.96, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 84% off an item priced $31 saves $26.04, so you pay $4.96.

Adding and taking away 84%

Increasing 31 by 84% gives 57.04 and decreasing it by 84% gives 4.96. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 9.1264, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
