How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
- Multiply: 0.09 × 31 = 2.79
- Check: Work backwards: 2.79 ÷ 31 × 100 = 9%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/31, so part = 9 × 31 ÷ 100 = 2.79. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =9%*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
2.79 is the 9% share of 31. The remaining 91% is 28.21, and the two parts add back up to 31.
Discounts: 9% off an item priced $31 saves $2.79, so you pay $28.21.
Adding and taking away 9%
Increasing 31 by 9% gives 33.79 and decreasing it by 9% gives 28.21. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 30.7489, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
