How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 97 = 23.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.28 ÷ 97 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/97, so part = 24 × 97 ÷ 100 = 23.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*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

23.28 is the 24% share of 97. The remaining 76% is 73.72, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $97 saves $23.28, so you pay $73.72.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 97 by 24% gives 120.28 and decreasing it by 24% gives 73.72. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 91.4128, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
