How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 97 = 61.11
  3. Check: Work backwards: 61.11 ÷ 97 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/97, so part = 63 × 97 ÷ 100 = 61.11. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*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

61.11 is the 63% share of 97. The remaining 37% is 35.89, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $97 saves $61.11, so you pay $35.89.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 97 by 63% gives 158.11 and decreasing it by 63% gives 35.89. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 58.5007, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
