How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 97 = 26.19
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.19 ÷ 97 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/97, so part = 27 × 97 ÷ 100 = 26.19. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*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

26.19 is the 27% share of 97. The remaining 73% is 70.81, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $97 saves $26.19, so you pay $70.81.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 97 by 27% gives 123.19 and decreasing it by 27% gives 70.81. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 89.9287, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
