How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
  2. Multiply: 0.9 × 31 = 27.9
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.9 ÷ 31 × 100 = 90%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/31, so part = 90 × 31 ÷ 100 = 27.9. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =90%*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

27.9 is the 90% share of 31. The remaining 10% is 3.1, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 90% off an item priced $31 saves $27.9, so you pay $3.1.

Adding and taking away 90%

Increasing 31 by 90% gives 58.9 and decreasing it by 90% gives 3.1. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 5.89, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
