How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 97 = 30.07
  3. Check: Work backwards: 30.07 ÷ 97 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/97, so part = 31 × 97 ÷ 100 = 30.07. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*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

30.07 is the 31% share of 97. The remaining 69% is 66.93, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $97 saves $30.07, so you pay $66.93.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 97 by 31% gives 127.07 and decreasing it by 31% gives 66.93. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 87.6783, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
