How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 97 = 50.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 50.44 ÷ 97 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/97, so part = 52 × 97 ÷ 100 = 50.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*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

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

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $97 saves $50.44, so you pay $46.56.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 97 by 52% gives 147.44 and decreasing it by 52% gives 46.56. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 70.7712, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
