How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
  2. Multiply: 0.06 × 97 = 5.82
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.82 ÷ 97 × 100 = 6%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/97, so part = 6 × 97 ÷ 100 = 5.82. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6%*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

5.82 is the 6% share of 97. The remaining 94% is 91.18, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 6% off an item priced $97 saves $5.82, so you pay $91.18.

Adding and taking away 6%

Increasing 97 by 6% gives 102.82 and decreasing it by 6% gives 91.18. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 96.6508, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
