How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
- Multiply: 0.98 × 31 = 30.38
- Check: Work backwards: 30.38 ÷ 31 × 100 = 98%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/31, so part = 98 × 31 ÷ 100 = 30.38. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =98%*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
30.38 is the 98% share of 31. The remaining 2% is 0.62, and the two parts add back up to 31.
Discounts: 98% off an item priced $31 saves $30.38, so you pay $0.62.
Adding and taking away 98%
Increasing 31 by 98% gives 61.38 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.62. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 1.2276, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
