How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
  2. Multiply: 0.25 × 97 = 24.25
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.25 ÷ 97 × 100 = 25%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/97, so part = 25 × 97 ÷ 100 = 24.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =25%*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

24.25 is the 25% share of 97. The remaining 75% is 72.75, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 25% off an item priced $97 saves $24.25, so you pay $72.75.

Adding and taking away 25%

Increasing 97 by 25% gives 121.25 and decreasing it by 25% gives 72.75. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 90.9375, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
