How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 97 = 68.87
  3. Check: Work backwards: 68.87 ÷ 97 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/97, so part = 71 × 97 ÷ 100 = 68.87. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*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

68.87 is the 71% share of 97. The remaining 29% is 28.13, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $97 saves $68.87, so you pay $28.13.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 97 by 71% gives 165.87 and decreasing it by 71% gives 28.13. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 48.1023, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
