How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 74 ÷ 100 = 0.74
  2. Multiply: 0.74 × 97 = 71.78
  3. Check: Work backwards: 71.78 ÷ 97 × 100 = 74%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/100 = part/97, so part = 74 × 97 ÷ 100 = 71.78. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =74%*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

71.78 is the 74% share of 97. The remaining 26% is 25.22, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 74% off an item priced $97 saves $71.78, so you pay $25.22.

Adding and taking away 74%

Increasing 97 by 74% gives 168.78 and decreasing it by 74% gives 25.22. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 74% and then lowering the result by 74% ends at 43.8828, because the second 74% is taken of a bigger number.
