How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
- Multiply: 0.96 × 31 = 29.76
- Check: Work backwards: 29.76 ÷ 31 × 100 = 96%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/31, so part = 96 × 31 ÷ 100 = 29.76. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =96%*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
29.76 is the 96% share of 31. The remaining 4% is 1.24, and the two parts add back up to 31.

Adding and taking away 96%
Increasing 31 by 96% gives 60.76 and decreasing it by 96% gives 1.24. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 2.4304, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
