How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
- Multiply: 0.88 × 31 = 27.28
- Check: Work backwards: 27.28 ÷ 31 × 100 = 88%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/31, so part = 88 × 31 ÷ 100 = 27.28. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =88%*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
27.28 is the 88% share of 31. The remaining 12% is 3.72, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Adding and taking away 88%
Increasing 31 by 88% gives 58.28 and decreasing it by 88% gives 3.72. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 6.9936, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
