How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 12 ÷ 100 = 0.12
- Multiply: 0.12 × 97 = 11.64
- Check: Work backwards: 11.64 ÷ 97 × 100 = 12%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/100 = part/97, so part = 12 × 97 ÷ 100 = 11.64. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =12%*97. 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

Adding and taking away 12%
Increasing 97 by 12% gives 108.64 and decreasing it by 12% gives 85.36. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 12% and then lowering the result by 12% ends at 95.6032, because the second 12% is taken of a bigger number.
