How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 97 = 34.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.92 ÷ 97 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/97, so part = 36 × 97 ÷ 100 = 34.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*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

34.92 is the 36% share of 97. The remaining 64% is 62.08, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $97 saves $34.92, so you pay $62.08.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 97 by 36% gives 131.92 and decreasing it by 36% gives 62.08. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 84.4288, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
