How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 97 = 46.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 46.56 ÷ 97 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/97, so part = 48 × 97 ÷ 100 = 46.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*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

46.56 is the 48% share of 97. The remaining 52% is 50.44, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $97 saves $46.56, so you pay $50.44.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 97 by 48% gives 143.56 and decreasing it by 48% gives 50.44. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 74.6512, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
