How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
  2. Multiply: 0.95 × 31 = 29.45
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.45 ÷ 31 × 100 = 95%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/31, so part = 95 × 31 ÷ 100 = 29.45. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =95%*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

29.45 is the 95% share of 31. The remaining 5% is 1.55, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Discounts: 95% off an item priced $31 saves $29.45, so you pay $1.55.

Adding and taking away 95%

Increasing 31 by 95% gives 60.45 and decreasing it by 95% gives 1.55. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 3.0225, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
