How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
  2. Multiply: 0.58 × 97 = 56.26
  3. Check: Work backwards: 56.26 ÷ 97 × 100 = 58%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/97, so part = 58 × 97 ÷ 100 = 56.26. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =58%*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

56.26 is the 58% share of 97. The remaining 42% is 40.74, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 58% off an item priced $97 saves $56.26, so you pay $40.74.

Adding and taking away 58%

Increasing 97 by 58% gives 153.26 and decreasing it by 58% gives 40.74. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 64.3692, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
