How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 97 = 12.61
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.61 ÷ 97 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/97, so part = 13 × 97 ÷ 100 = 12.61. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*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

12.61 is the 13% share of 97. The remaining 87% is 84.39, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $97 saves $12.61, so you pay $84.39.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 97 by 13% gives 109.61 and decreasing it by 13% gives 84.39. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 95.3607, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
