How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 91 ÷ 100 = 0.91
  2. Multiply: 0.91 × 31 = 28.21
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.21 ÷ 31 × 100 = 91%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 91/100 = part/31, so part = 91 × 31 ÷ 100 = 28.21. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =91%*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

28.21 is the 91% share of 31. The remaining 9% is 2.79, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 91% off an item priced $31 saves $28.21, so you pay $2.79.

Adding and taking away 91%

Increasing 31 by 91% gives 59.21 and decreasing it by 91% gives 2.79. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 91% and then lowering the result by 91% ends at 5.3289, because the second 91% is taken of a bigger number.
