How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 97 = 79.54
  3. Check: Work backwards: 79.54 ÷ 97 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/97, so part = 82 × 97 ÷ 100 = 79.54. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*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

79.54 is the 82% share of 97. The remaining 18% is 17.46, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $97 saves $79.54, so you pay $17.46.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 97 by 82% gives 176.54 and decreasing it by 82% gives 17.46. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 31.7772, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
