How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 61 ÷ 100 = 0.61
- Multiply: 0.61 × 97 = 59.17
- Check: Work backwards: 59.17 ÷ 97 × 100 = 61%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/100 = part/97, so part = 61 × 97 ÷ 100 = 59.17. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =61%*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

Adding and taking away 61%
Increasing 97 by 61% gives 156.17 and decreasing it by 61% gives 37.83. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 61% and then lowering the result by 61% ends at 60.9063, because the second 61% is taken of a bigger number.
