How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
  2. Multiply: 0.75 × 97 = 72.75
  3. Check: Work backwards: 72.75 ÷ 97 × 100 = 75%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/100 = part/97, so part = 75 × 97 ÷ 100 = 72.75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75%*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

72.75 is the 75% share of 97. The remaining 25% is 24.25, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 75% off an item priced $97 saves $72.75, so you pay $24.25.

Adding and taking away 75%

Increasing 97 by 75% gives 169.75 and decreasing it by 75% gives 24.25. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 75% and then lowering the result by 75% ends at 42.4375, because the second 75% is taken of a bigger number.
