How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 77 ÷ 100 = 0.77
  2. Multiply: 0.77 × 97 = 74.69
  3. Check: Work backwards: 74.69 ÷ 97 × 100 = 77%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/100 = part/97, so part = 77 × 97 ÷ 100 = 74.69. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77%*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

74.69 is the 77% share of 97. The remaining 23% is 22.31, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 77% off an item priced $97 saves $74.69, so you pay $22.31.

Adding and taking away 77%

Increasing 97 by 77% gives 171.69 and decreasing it by 77% gives 22.31. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 77% and then lowering the result by 77% ends at 39.4887, because the second 77% is taken of a bigger number.
