How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 97 = 6.79
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.79 ÷ 97 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/97, so part = 7 × 97 ÷ 100 = 6.79. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*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

6.79 is the 7% share of 97. The remaining 93% is 90.21, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $97 saves $6.79, so you pay $90.21.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 97 by 7% gives 103.79 and decreasing it by 7% gives 90.21. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 96.5247, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
