How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
  2. Multiply: 0.95 × 97 = 92.15
  3. Check: Work backwards: 92.15 ÷ 97 × 100 = 95%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/97, so part = 95 × 97 ÷ 100 = 92.15. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =95%*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

92.15 is the 95% share of 97. The remaining 5% is 4.85, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Discounts: 95% off an item priced $97 saves $92.15, so you pay $4.85.

Adding and taking away 95%

Increasing 97 by 95% gives 189.15 and decreasing it by 95% gives 4.85. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 9.4575, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
