How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49
  2. Multiply: 0.49 × 97 = 47.53
  3. Check: Work backwards: 47.53 ÷ 97 × 100 = 49%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 49/100 = part/97, so part = 49 × 97 ÷ 100 = 47.53. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =49%*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

47.53 is the 49% share of 97. The remaining 51% is 49.47, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 49% off an item priced $97 saves $47.53, so you pay $49.47.

Adding and taking away 49%

Increasing 97 by 49% gives 144.53 and decreasing it by 49% gives 49.47. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 49% and then lowering the result by 49% ends at 73.7103, because the second 49% is taken of a bigger number.
