How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 97 = 85.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 85.36 ÷ 97 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/97, so part = 88 × 97 ÷ 100 = 85.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*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

85.36 is the 88% share of 97. The remaining 12% is 11.64, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $97 saves $85.36, so you pay $11.64.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 97 by 88% gives 182.36 and decreasing it by 88% gives 11.64. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 21.8832, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
