How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 97 = 17.46
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.46 ÷ 97 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/97, so part = 18 × 97 ÷ 100 = 17.46. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*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

17.46 is the 18% share of 97. The remaining 82% is 79.54, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $97 saves $17.46, so you pay $79.54.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 97 by 18% gives 114.46 and decreasing it by 18% gives 79.54. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 93.8572, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
