How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 31 = 30.69
- Check: Work backwards: 30.69 ÷ 31 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/31, so part = 99 × 31 ÷ 100 = 30.69. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*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
30.69 is the 99% share of 31. The remaining 1% is 0.31, and the two parts add back up to 31.
Discounts: 99% off an item priced $31 saves $30.69, so you pay $0.31.
Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 31 by 99% gives 61.69 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.31. These do not cancel out: raising 31 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.6169, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
