How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83
  2. Multiply: 0.83 × 97 = 80.51
  3. Check: Work backwards: 80.51 ÷ 97 × 100 = 83%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/100 = part/97, so part = 83 × 97 ÷ 100 = 80.51. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =83%*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

80.51 is the 83% share of 97. The remaining 17% is 16.49, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 83% off an item priced $97 saves $80.51, so you pay $16.49.

Adding and taking away 83%

Increasing 97 by 83% gives 177.51 and decreasing it by 83% gives 16.49. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 83% and then lowering the result by 83% ends at 30.1767, because the second 83% is taken of a bigger number.
