How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
- Multiply: 0.9 × 97 = 87.3
- Check: Work backwards: 87.3 ÷ 97 × 100 = 90%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/97, so part = 90 × 97 ÷ 100 = 87.3. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =90%*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
87.3 is the 90% share of 97. The remaining 10% is 9.7, and the two parts add back up to 97.
Discounts: 90% off an item priced $97 saves $87.3, so you pay $9.7.
Adding and taking away 90%
Increasing 97 by 90% gives 184.3 and decreasing it by 90% gives 9.7. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 18.43, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
