How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 32 ÷ 100 = 0.32
  2. Multiply: 0.32 × 97 = 31.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.04 ÷ 97 × 100 = 32%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/100 = part/97, so part = 32 × 97 ÷ 100 = 31.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =32%*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

31.04 is the 32% share of 97. The remaining 68% is 65.96, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 32% off an item priced $97 saves $31.04, so you pay $65.96.

Adding and taking away 32%

Increasing 97 by 32% gives 128.04 and decreasing it by 32% gives 65.96. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 32% and then lowering the result by 32% ends at 87.0672, because the second 32% is taken of a bigger number.
