How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 60 ÷ 100 = 0.6
- Multiply: 0.6 × 97 = 58.2
- Check: Work backwards: 58.2 ÷ 97 × 100 = 60%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 60/100 = part/97, so part = 60 × 97 ÷ 100 = 58.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =60%*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
58.2 is the 60% share of 97. The remaining 40% is 38.8, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Adding and taking away 60%
Increasing 97 by 60% gives 155.2 and decreasing it by 60% gives 38.8. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 60% and then lowering the result by 60% ends at 62.08, because the second 60% is taken of a bigger number.
