How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57
  2. Multiply: 0.57 × 97 = 55.29
  3. Check: Work backwards: 55.29 ÷ 97 × 100 = 57%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/100 = part/97, so part = 57 × 97 ÷ 100 = 55.29. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57%*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

55.29 is the 57% share of 97. The remaining 43% is 41.71, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 57% off an item priced $97 saves $55.29, so you pay $41.71.

Adding and taking away 57%

Increasing 97 by 57% gives 152.29 and decreasing it by 57% gives 41.71. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 57% and then lowering the result by 57% ends at 65.4847, because the second 57% is taken of a bigger number.
