How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
  2. Multiply: 0.28 × 97 = 27.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.16 ÷ 97 × 100 = 28%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/97, so part = 28 × 97 ÷ 100 = 27.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28%*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

27.16 is the 28% share of 97. The remaining 72% is 69.84, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 28% off an item priced $97 saves $27.16, so you pay $69.84.

Adding and taking away 28%

Increasing 97 by 28% gives 124.16 and decreasing it by 28% gives 69.84. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 89.3952, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
