How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 86 ÷ 100 = 0.86
- Multiply: 0.86 × 97 = 83.42
- Check: Work backwards: 83.42 ÷ 97 × 100 = 86%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 86/100 = part/97, so part = 86 × 97 ÷ 100 = 83.42. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =86%*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

Adding and taking away 86%
Increasing 97 by 86% gives 180.42 and decreasing it by 86% gives 13.58. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 86% and then lowering the result by 86% ends at 25.2588, because the second 86% is taken of a bigger number.
